Thats the weirdest **** i've ever seen. So the washer fluid squirts out from the edge of the hood?

Yep, it works just like your washer jets, just from the underside, and they're a little bulkier. I need to put some sealant on the supply hoses though, they keep slipping off and spraying washer fluid all over my engine bay, lol.

Okay im back with some results and more questions.. I found a huge crack along the tubing that is plugged into the washer reservoir that was above my front wheel. I fixed that up for now..so i followed that tubing and it lead me to this first picture..

In the picture the 2 red circles is where I assume the nozzles/washer jets are suppose to be connected too, and the green circle, i was hoping you guys can let me know what that plug is. Also since my hood doesn't have the nozzles/washer jets attached to it.. i was wondering if there's anyway to do it myself? or do i have to put it under my hood like A2thy. If that's so where can I buy these nozzles at and what exactly am I suppose to look for?

If the top of your hood has no evidence of anything having ever been mounted to it, chances are that your washer jets are supposed to mounted in the same place as mine. Are there rectangular holes in the bottom of your hood? If so, this is where the washer jets are supposed to click into. No tools or professional help needed.

I think we both have the heated washer jets, which is why that electrical connector is there. There should be another one somewhere. Once you get the parts it should be obvious what plugs into where. Each washer jet has a connection for fluid and a connection for electricity. Use the pic I previously posted for reference if you need to.

Here are the ones for my car, if yours is an '01 it should fit too: http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...ek+Google+Base
If you shop around you may find a better deal, but it's somewhere to start if nothing else. Good luck.

Thanks for the quick response A2thy. I just went back out and checked under the hood, there not triangles but circles. I took a quick pic to show you .
I have a 99.5 and circle holes. So now I'm stumped lol

No prob, I'm somewhat of a night owl, so don't expect such a quick response in most of the morning hours, lol.

I said rectangles, not triangles, although I'm thinking they may have even been square. I'll have to look at them again and measure them while I'm at it. I see two small square holes at the very back of your hood, I think that may be where they mount. Could you measure them or just take a closer picture? I'll take another look at mine in the daytime.

I'm an idiot bout the triangle thing LOL. I just went out and measured it its about 7/8 (0.875) of an inch... pretty close to an inch. I am bout to go to bed soon so i'll come check back up on this post tomorrow and look browse around online for something that will work.. Any more help will still be grateful though!

I couldn't find my ruler or measuring tape, but the square cutouts on my hood looked like they were about the same size as yours. They were also in the exact same location, so I don't think you have anything to worry about. If I were you I'd go ahead and buy the parts and install them. Keep in mind you need a left and right washer jet, as they are different from one another.
