Replace aging hoses - 1990 300E

I'd like to replace some of the aging hoses in my car in particular the hoses that feed the headlight wipers which seem to be hard. Where would I get some of these and what others hoses should I change while I'm at it?

vaccum hoses around the Idle Control Valve (ICV)

All radiator hoses...
be careful though, be ready to buy a new radiator in case a weak point in the plastic sidewalls of the rad gives up

At that age any rubber in the car should be scutinized. I just did all vacume lines and engine mounts in my 88 560SL. I do rad and heater hoses every 5 years.
