You either get someone to drill the holes for it/relocate them them elsewhere/or simply do with out them.. I think it depends on the person..

here is what i did

1. Remove hood (you dont have too, but it is MUCH easier)
2. Remove wipers (you gotta take the plastic cap off and unscrew the nut)Remove entire plastic cowl underneath the wipers. It is 2 parts, 2 screws on each side of the body. It is held together with plastic clips underneath the rubber gasket. BE CAREFUL with the things, they are inside the gasket and can come out.
3. On the left side of the cowl, run your new hose along the bottom of the channel, use a "Y" connector to run 1 hose up the passenger side, and continue to run another hose up to the drives side.
4. Hopefully you have holes in the cowl cover to run the hose into (see pic), if not, start drilling. Make sure it is big enough for you new hose.
5. Connect you wiper squirter to the wiper and then connect your new hose to the squirter.

6. Replace all fasteners and connectors, Install your CF hood and you are done.

Total parts needed: Chrysler Lebaron squirters ($20 Ebay)
6 feet of silicone hose (dont remember the size)($3.50-local auto parts store)
2 "Y" connectors and a few straight one just in case ($9.00-local auto parts store)

hey think you could send me some pictures of ur install??? I am kinda leary of drilling the holes in my hood for the OEM nozzles. The hole needed is weird and such, would probably have to use a dremel tool.

Actually, You cant see anything under the hood. All the lines run into the cowl cover (underneath that gray black piece the wipers hook into)

as for parts, i guessed...I know I needed a car that had wipers attached to the arm, and just did an ebay search for wiper arm, squirt..and got the lebaron ones.
