^^^ my favorite mods are all in my signature below. The horns that i installed, turning the rear washer nozzle upside down and the laptop + mount i use for navigation, etc. all great mods which were fairly cheap but give you plenty of bang for the buck!

that is what i live for! ^_^

LOL - there aer pics somewhere in that thread. it's very simple - you just gotta remove your 3rd brake light to get to the nozzle that sprays the back window. once the taillight is off (1 bolt i believe) you will see the nozzle and you will see how it attaches to the rear door. you simply undo this attachment by squeezing the sides of the nozzle and it'll pop right out. once it's out, you just flip it around and put it back in.

trust me, doing it is much easier than describing how to do it! you cant really mess this up. once you get the brake light off by removing that single bolt, you'll know what to do.

NO NO NO - you dont grind it off! those tabs SQUEEZE inwards to release the nozzle! you should not grind them off! use needle-nose plyers if you need. squeeze those tab things inwards and you'll see that the nozzle will pop right out!

Hmmm I want Hella horns for my xA now..
I'm assuming the installation should be just about the same for the xA and xB.

The thing is though, the xA grille is really restricting, so the horns wouldn't work very well. Unless...I can mount them behind the lower grille somehow.
