W126 European lights

When I am in Europe, I will be looking for the European lights for my w126. I was searching through the archives but didn't find an answer to a question I have. Will the new lights just fit into the car? Do I just need the lights or other parts/things? What if I don't need the wipers anymore... how do I go on about removing them? I just want to make sure I have everything needed to go and do the change before starting and finding out I am missing a few things

I don't like any of the US versions... engines, lights, bumpers, etc You can't "americanize" a European car, IMO
