I converted my 124 (1987 300E) headlights to the European spec lights, and I am not inclined to adapt the headlight wiper/washer system to the new headlights. So, if any of you 260E (124) owners want to install the cool headlight wipers/washers like the 300E came with, this stuff will allow you to do it. These are great for snowy climates to keep the headlights from losing effectiveness due to being covered with snow, frost and ice, or just to keep headlights clean and working at maximum effectiveness.
Includes the following: right and left side headlight wiper motors (these attach directly to the headlight housings using the included hardware); wiper arms and blades (blades are pretty new); headlight washer pump that should easily attach to the existing washer fluid reservoir (124's w/o the headlight washers should have a space to mount this right next to the pump for windshield washers that is plugged); the trim panels that go below headlights with the washer nozzles attached and with the semicircle hole for wiper arms to pass through (already painted black; you can prime and paint to match your car if needed); plus all the tubing for the washers that runs from the reservoir pump to the nozzles. Asking price for everything is $99.00 plus actual shipping by ups ground. Cost from dealer would probably be around $500.
I don't believe this will work on 124's from 1993+ (which used different headlights and wiper motors), but it should work on earlier model years. All of this stuff was working great when it was removed last week from my 300E (which only has 85k miles on it). I think (but you will have to verify this for yourself before buying) that 124's w/o the headlight wipers/washers already have the harness plugs that connect to the headlight wiper motors and the headlight washer pump, and if so, it is just a plug and play in terms of electrica hook ups.
