Works damn good. Switch looks cool when it is lit up red while on.
Step 1: Parts: 1 12V washer pump, power wire, toggle switch of choice, tools, windshield washer nozzle, patience.
Step 2: Pop out one of the button fillers.

Step 3: Drill a hole in the button filler for the switch to go through, not too big though.

Step 4: Insert switch through the back and tighten down ring and smash washer.

Step 5: Run 2 wires down through the hole using a coat hanger. Screw one into metal as a ground. Loosen the 30A bus connection above the dead pedal and attach the other there. Insert switch into dash.

Step 6: Route the switched power wire through the grommet near the master cylinder. Run along edges of engine bay and through plastic headlight cover.

Step 7: Mount washer pump as shown and make appropiate fluid and electrical connections. You will have to take the bumper off to do this.

Step 8: Attach and aim windshield washer nozzle.
The switch I chose lights up red when on. Very nice. This project can be done for as little as $35 if you have speaker wire and connectors already and choose a cheaper switch.
