I've posted this link to the DIY from VWvortex a few times on here & I finally got around to doing it myself.

I went to Home Depot & bought all of the materials. EVERYTHING you need is in the Irrigation isle except for the hose, which is in Plumbing. They don't sell the connectors individually, so you have to buy a bag of 5 or so, but I spent $20 & got enough for 2 of these IC spray kits. If you look at the cost of only the materials needed for one kit, it's probably about $7.
FL is insanely hot & I do everything I can to help my car stay cool. I don't have the $$ to spend on a Co2 or N2O IC spray & I love DIY mods, so I thought I'd give this one a try. I followed the How-To for making the valve setup, but I chose my own path for the tubing & went with a dual spray setup instead of the single that he used.
I know most people don't want to sacrifice their windshield sprayers, but I rarely use mine & I can always just clean the window when I get gas or use Rain-X to help. With the valve setup, all you have to do is pop your hood & turn 2 knobs to change between the IC spray & windshield sprayers. However, I drained all of my windshield washer fluid & filled the resevoir with water, so I don't think it would clean the windshield as well.
This picture shows all of the materials needed to make the setup I used. The only thing not pictured is electrical tape. I only had to use it on the bumper beam because the hose is kept secure everywhere else. I even used to tape to aim the sprayers & it worked just fine (use 2 pieces there instead of one).
