Will keep the US wipers for now, but am searching for a set of the Euro versions. They pop up on ebay from time to time, mostly from a seller at Potomac (sp?) out east thats sells MB used parts.

Thanks,

Cliff:

Excellent choice on the headlight wipers. I too, did not get them, when my Eurolights were installed, and the US wiper look, ruins them IMO

Please post here or PM when you get them installed, what they cost, where you got them, how much $$ for used, and what components. (I think it may need a different wiper motor and lines. (not sure)

Also, do they always automatically "park correctly" when turned off? I have seen some pointing up, on cars for sale, and it looks just terrible.

I would be most grateful, as I may follow in those footsteps myself.

You may be interested to know I also bought the small fender lights like on the UK/Norwegian cars from a Mercedes dealer while on vacation in Finland, an wondering whether or not to install them or not. They blink in synchro with turn signals. Mandatory in some countries..supposedly an EZ install, but fender needed to be cut and sealed well. Would you do it?

I have seen them in clears, also but they may be aftermarket though possibly MB has them..

I saw this actual car in Oslo Norway, a 420SEC and the owner gave us dinner.

Any opinion on that?
Thank you.
