Ok, this is the bad thing and good thing: my windshield and headlight nozzles work. but only one side of them.

too bad, the nozzle on the driver's side doesn't spray.
but based on the schematic, if the passenger nozzle works, the fluid runs correctly, and it may only be a problem of a clogged nozzle I guess?
I tried using a needle but no luck.
what can I try before spending time to replace a new nozzle?

THEN second issue:
the headlight nozzle on the passenger's side doesn't spray (but the drivers side works great)
here based on the schematic, it seems they are independent, but I guess I can try to unclog it. but with what? googone? wd40? needle?

any recs are welcome!

If you can remove the nozzles you can soak them in vinegar . . most likely clogged by water minerals. If you adapt a spray nozzle from a carb cleaner can to mate to the nozzle hose and can get some pressure behind it . . this might work.

This is slightly off-topic but is there a one-way check valve in the windshield/headlight nozzle system that maintains the pressure in the line? In other words, when I turn on the washer it takes several wiper swipes for the water to arrive. Every other car I have the water comes on as soon as your engage the sytem. Thanks
