A low profile, integrated camera wash nozzle assemblyis readily and unobtrusively integrated into a vehicle's exterior trim surfacesto make a more visually appealing exterior design while not compromising spray performance. A system and nozzle assembly (e.g.,) for cleaning an exterior objective lens or wide-angle sensor's exterior surfaceto remove accumulated debris sprays washer fluid at a selected shallow angle which is substantially transverse to the lenses central viewing axis. A low-profile conformal housing fixtureis adapted to receive and aim a very compact fluidic circuit insertthat can generate a wide spray which substantially covers the lens surface, despite being very close to the edge of the lens

A pop-up external lens washing system has an extendable aiming fixture configured to aim a lens cleaning spray at an external lens which is exposed to the elements and apt to become soiled with debris. The extendable nozzle assembly is configured to be aimed toward the external lens by the extended aiming fixture during the washing operation only and has at least one laterally offset washing nozzle projecting from the aiming fixture to a spray washing fluid toward the external lens surface, spraying at a shallow, glancing spray aiming angle to impinge upon and wash the lens external surface.
