Back in high school, I helped rig some of these up on a friend's car.  We 
drilled small holes in the side marker lights and reverse lights, epoxied 
aluminum tubing in place, and rigged up a 1-gallon tank, with 3 seperate pumps 
and switches.  The switches were located in the ashtray, along with the 
controls for the radar detector -- the LEDs and beeper were nicely integrated 
into the instrument panel.

Quite good at low speeds, but the side nozzles were useless at freeway speeds.

Really, though, the best part was the James Bond effect of the hidden switch 
panel in the ashtray...
