Wellll, if you use blue additive in the washer bottle and clear hose, them a bit of paint on the black bits, you could do it :lol:
The only thing is that you have to modify the arms a bit to fit properly, and have to move them down a bit when you have to change the wiper blades

Surely he hasn't missed this trick though, it is BLUE after all.

What about heated jets?
There are various kits that wrap your washer hose round a hot pipe to warm the water, but on some models of cars (I used to have a Vauxhall Carlton - don't laugh!) there are heating elements built into the jet, these will simply connect to the washer pump wiring and give you 'hot' water - you can see the steam come off them.
I fitted Carlton jets to a ford I had later and it was quite simple (two wires and the push on hose), I'm tempted to do this now to my Discovery but I need to find a scrapyears with some in first.
The water comes out hot enough to melt ice and snow, they don't freexe in winter, they clear bugs a lot better, but I've never heard of the water craking a windscreen in the freezing cold - I once had to dig my car out of the snow on my drive (where it had drifted) and the washer jets worked fine and ceared not only the windscreen but melted all the now above it also!
I would definately recommend them, if you want more water, then fit a higher power pump as already suggested, and / or more washer jets - but make these jets heated, you won't look back.
