if you want them - go for it -
I personally think they are alittle ricey, the only way I would consider putting them on, is to have them wired to only turn on the side with my turn signal, so they blink when I am turning.. still ricey though

That's exactly how I have mine wired up ... and I also have them wired to a switch so I only turn them on when it's bad weather or when I'm baiting for a race.

you do know that that hose pops right off right? so you pull the hose out, take the needle nose pliers and pull the bottom part of the nozzle out, then take off the stock nozzle and just do the swap.. plug the hose back in.

do you know how one works.......or how does a 2-way work at the back end where the prongs come out? do you only wire the prongs with ground wires or power to the on, and ground to the off?
thanks
