go to your local gas station and use the compressor for the air.
hold on tight to the nipple of it will fly to the closest victim

1)open hood.
2)Locate plugged nozzle h20 line leading to plugged nozzle
3)rmove the line from the connection point of the nozzle
4)check for any/all objects in the way
5)removed plugged nozzle
6)get a needle and jam in the holes of plugged nozzle
7)Make sure you found the object in the nozzle or h20 line
8)reassemble
9)spary and your good to go!

hope this helps...

I tried to take mine off to clean them when I had the exact same problem. Jamming a needle in there didn't help, so I thought maybe soaking them in CLR (I was assuming it was a mineral deposit of some sort) would help.

I never got that far, I broke the nozzle trying to remove the tube. Be damn careful when you take them off.

To fix it, I did exactly as you said. I bought LED nozzles, snipped the wires, grinded away the chrome *barf*, and painted them. It doesn't look great, but it's better than nothing. This was after Honda quoted me at $40 CDN a nozzle, and junkyards/stores had nothing.

Edit: Maybe you could also try a can of compressed air. You should be able to find it at any computer store.
