Right now what ive found (dont quote me... theres prob an easier way to do this) but to install these things you either got to be impatient and flexible(me) or justt plain patient(not me)...
first you'll have to remove the orgianal washers from the bonnet (justt pull the rubber elbow hose thingy off the back of the old washers then either push the old ones out of the bonnet from below or pull them out from the top...
then you what uwant to do its check to see whether you have to remove/make the hole wider under the bonnet
(on my tp the hole is ovalish and not wide enough to get a socket in there)
then you want to remove about 5mm of the surrounding frame work with either a drill (be VERY careful) or some tin snips (pretty hard)... (tis process is made easier if you can remove the bonnet!)
after removing this metal it is pretty simple to do you justt got to put the new ones in the holes in the toop of the bonnet and then depending on the kit you get with them place the rubber washer on the back of the new squirters then the metal washer followed by the nut (duh)...
then simply tighten with a socket (mine was a 12mm) but the important part is to not do it to tight! (definately on mine but depends on the type i spose) as the wires may get squashed and possibly broken if your not careful!!
and hopefully thats that.. now if you want to be tricky i suggest running the cable through the firewall and connecting them to a switch somewhere in the cabin so that you can control when they're on and when they're not... or maybe even work out a way to connect them to the headlight wirse so they only come on when you turn you head lights on... prob a bit easier ;D
ps.some pix of my job some time soon.. i justt got to get hold of the digi camera again...

I think i ended up justt gluing them to the hood with contact adhesive 
... hey, if it works, why not...
