Where do you get the new nozzles? Do you use stock honda nozzles or is there an aftermarket alternative that is easier to mount?

Yep...
Just remove the reservoir and the lines and then nothing can squirt out and leave water spots.
Weight savings to boot.
and you save +/-10 pounds.

Mine squirts a little too high, almost getting the top of windshield

Remove the lines from the OEM spray nozzles and then install another set of spray nozzles under the hood by the windshield.

This way the spray does not cross your hood.
Acura Integra's come with this stock. I don't know why they didn't do this to the S. Maybe so you can get those aftermarket LED ones? Besides, why would you want to remove the nozzles anyway? I hear the spray motor adds 10 HP ^_^

I don't even know if mine (washers) work. I've never hit the switch. Washer fluid has alcohol in it. Can't see mucking things up by spraying solvents at the windshield. Pretty simple to hit it with a wet rag if it needs it. Take a look around at the number of cars on the road with the paint destroyed on the roof. It's always the same pattern of really rotten at the point the roof meets the windshield, and progressively less rotten as the roof continues. My suspect is, of course, the washer fluid. You pays a price for the convenience of the little button.

5th gen preludes have the under hood nozzles. Perhaps you could retro-fit them.
