Replacement windshield water squirters
I am looking to change out my squirters for something that actually shoots out evenly over my windshield.
I have tried doing a search because I read a thread that someone used Element Squirters.
Can anyone help me out? Part numbers and pics would help me out!

Fit washer nozzles... these are likely similar to ones used on other newer Hondas and Acuras, but I used these and they work great.

Remove the rubber line from the under hood or cowl area of each nozzle. [depending on the location of your nozzles] Using a shop air hose and a blow gun with a rubber tipped nozzle, insert the nozzle into the inlet area of the nozzles mounted on your hood or cowl. Blow the nozzles out using the compressed air. This will almost always fix a clogged nozzle. FYI, never use plain water in the W/S washer reservoir in the summer. Algae can grow in plain water. That algae will ABSOLUTELY clog the nozzles. The alcohol in W/S washer solvent prevents the algae from growing. In the summer you can dilute it 2 or 3 to 1.
Some cars have nozzles which can be aimed. Insert the end of a straightened out paper clip into the outlet hole of the "eyeball" in the nozzle [assuming you have adjustable nozzles] to aim the flow onto your windshield.

Often, the nozzles for windshield washers get clogged with wax, when you wax your car. The wax dries and plugs up the nozzles. Before making a mountain out of a [possible] mole hill, try the following.

I've been using straight water for years and have never had an issue with algae build-up. Windshield washer fluid contains antifreeze and other chemicals that can etch into your paint. It's worse on cars with the sprayer nozzles up on the surface of the hood.
A better alternative would be the washer fluid tablets from 303 Products, added to plain water (or even distilled to be sure there are no minerals or chemicals that might etch the paint).

94-01 Integras have the windshield sprayers hidden underneath the hood. If you get wax on them then IMHO you're being super sloppy with your wax.

Sorry sir, that is incorrect. Most windshield washer fluids contain methanol which is NOT the same as isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. This is a toxic chemical, which is one reason why I don't like to use normal windshield washer fluid. Many washer fluids for winter use also contain ethylene glycol, which is used in many brands of automotive coolant (antifreeze) fluids to lower the freezing point of the fluid.
I live in the Memphis area and have used nothing but water in my washer tank for nearly a decade and have never seen any signs of algae buildup in the tank.
Also nearly every car I see with washer sprayers on the hood has paint etching marks all around them. The etching marks are very visible on my wife's 96 Corolla. We use straight water in both of our cars because of the environmental (toxic) concerns and paint damage issues. However I have a sample of the 303 tablets that I'm going to try soon.

Ok I have fought with HPU with the part numbers..
I just got my money back and that part number 76810-SEA-A01 doesn't exist. Any help on what to use? I tried both the 07 and 08 fit.. Is there a certain trim to use?....
