I noticed the Lincoln LS has identical washer nozzles and they are painted. I checked the local Lincoln dealer and you can buy them over the counter.
I ordered 2 in Satin Silver. Cost $38. Installation is literally a snap .. they snap

Doesn't look bad at all. Might be easier for you when you wax your car.

I used the same white vinyl I used to do my stripes and covered the washer nozzles so they match the stripes......easier than painting them.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I think I will keep them .. can't wait to see them tomorrow out in the sunlight.

p61cbi - if you do decide to get them you have to order for a 2001 Lincoln LS
in Silver. They used different shades of Silver over the various years.

Take the black ones, get some touchup -> sonic blue washer nozzles.

EXCELLENT and simple mod, John. Well done! Little things like that are noticeable enhancements to an already-increadible machine. I wonder if dealers will offer these nozzles in other colors. Happy New Year!

Mustang and Silver LS nozzle side by side ...

Those would be the washer nozzles for a 2000, 2001 & 2002 LS.

In 2003 the LS switched to hidden nozzles, which are even better. I wish Ford would have used hidden nozzles on the 05 Stang too.

Also you will have a hard time matching colors with the LS other than Satin Silver, which was dropped from the LS in mid 2002 MY and replaced by Silver Birch. I don't think that any other LS colors were exactly the same as the 05 Stang uses, although the white & black may be close enough.
