had to google washlet, but yeah basically I think. It's a little attachment. I unscrewed the toilet seat, aligned this hard plastic bit with the bidet controls and the nozzle thing over the seat holes, then mounted the seat again. The water comes from my water line (?) which I removed from the toilet fill valve, added a T valve to in order to split the water, then ran the bidet water line to the split from the new T valve.

Only complaint so far and thing to watch out for is I'm told I might need toilet "bumpers" to support the seat now that it rises more than originally in the back where it hinges on the toilet porcelain. That I'm less sure about, but I have more reading planned and ordered bumpers anyways since they're only $8 and might be important.

That's what a "washlet" means. A bidet as we understand in Europe is built right into our toilets as a separate utility piece with multi-uses (e.g. washing feet), not added later to an existing toilet. The logistics of adding an actual bidet later are much more complicated than just putting an extra piece in a seat, which is why that's more popular in NA where most bathrooms have no room for a bidet and the majority of Americans don't understand the concept anyway.
