Default HELP with washer fluid sprayers

So i just bought new washer fluid sprayes. The stock ones were black, so i bought chrome ones with blue LEDs in them. Im not sure where to wire them to ? All the box said was to wire them to the parking lamp ?

One wire goes to a ground, the other to the park lamp feed so the washer leds come on with your lights.

Arent our sprayers back behind the hood? As in not visible? if so what do you expect to get out of those lights except maybe an accent at the top of your hood?

Yeah. I think there are three wires going into the lamp fittment.
Switch on your park lights and using a meter, find out which one of these wires is hot when the lights are turned on.
Then, tap into that wire and run a lenght of cable up to your washer jets.
Connect this to one of the washer jet wires.
You may need to experiment with which wire goes to this positive feed, as these LEDs need the correct polarity applied to them.

Yeah, but that car had the sprayers in the hood, our dodges however do not if I am correct. Correct me if Im wrong of course, but I am fairly certain they sit up on that black piece above the hood.

I was told these are illegal in many states. Something about distraction from the road. Sounds silly, I would like to think my entire truck is a distraction.... I know damn well all the shiny's hanging on my VTX is certainly distracting.lol

Yeah your right.
I thought you just needed pointers to wire them up.
