I just wired then to the corner lights. I was not interested in "daytime running lights". Not even new Mercedes have those, and I am a purist ;) :D

here are the bracket numbers for the wiper motors on the 126 euro sedan, they appear to be avail seperate.
126-824-05-14 they are the same for both sides

I think the brackets that you reference are for the euro wipers which (I think) are different than the us wipers. After digging into this during my project, I can now see how someone could fairly easily engineer an adapter to make us wipers work with Euro lights.

Whoops. Sorry, Alan. I never could dig up the instructions to my install as you requested. I suspect I still have them, they're just lost somewhere in all my parts boxes. :o

No problem. This was less intimitating once I got into it. Just buy drilling some extra holes in the existing brackets I was able to make this work. maybe not ideal, but it worked. Having a pre-made bracket that just bolts on would be better, of course.

Last night I actually saw my wipers work!. I used the reflection of my lights in another cars bumper and hit the washers. I had never seen them work or paid any attention, but after making the decisioni to keep then during the Euro install, I now pay more attention. Glad I kept them!

Regarding the right side of a 126, does the wiper motor bracket attach under the headlight so that the headlight has to be removed? I bought a right-side wiper motor and bracket but can't figure out how the bracket attaches.

Thanks

I do not think there would be any way to replace the wiper motor and/or bracket without removing the headlight. But, if I recall correctly, you have to remove one or two nuts that connect the bracket to the headllight.

Strange, but to remove the headlight, you have to remove (part of) the wiper bracket and to remove the wiper bracket (completely) you have to remove the headlight.
