I have the 124 body with the factory heated windshield fluid reservoir and I can tell you that its not worth your trouble converting.

I live in Canada, and I thought that I can get away in the winter by just using water and relying on the heated fluid to melt the snow. I can tell you from first hand experience that this does not work. In freezing weather, by the time the heated fluid hits the windshield it has cooled down substantially, and any heat in it is effectively lost. It turns to ice just as fast as if it was not heated. Additionally you will be diverting hot water from your car's heater, making it much less effective in cold weather.

In winter, use real WINTER windshield washer fluid and you will be much further ahead.
