I've been searching around but can't find any posts specifically about W126 Euro headlight wiper motor wiring--only headlight wiring.

I installed a set of Euro headlights on my roommate's 1991 W126 350SDL and now he has the proper Euro motors, wiper arms, and panels. I painted the panels Arctic White so they match the body and am going to install the Euro wiper parts but want to know if the wiring for the Euro motors is the same as the US motors, or do I need to switch the wires around?

I ended up answering my own question. The USA and the Euro motors both have wiring diagrams on them and they are exactly the same between the units, so they are plug-and-play. However, good luck to anyone trying to find the correct motors as there are apparently 8! different setups for the W126:

1. 1st generation Euro sedan
2. 1st generation USA sedan
3. 1st generation Euro coupe
4. 1st generation USA coupe
5. 2nd generation Euro sedan
6. 2nd generation USA sedan
7. 2nd generation Euro coupe
8. 2nd generation USA coupe
