Brewtoo:
The unpainted panel strips without wiper holes are avilable from a MB dealer or from PartsShop(Maybe?) for dirt cheap - my auto body shop painted them to match for free, other people have had theirs done for about $30. Or, Barrie posted instructions for modifying the wipers to work via an adapter he made out of aluminum at http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?threadid=6603

- otherwise you have to get the Euro wipers for big $$$.

I did the trim strips on mine and left off the wipers. I also ordered a new plastic grill insert and trim strips from PartsShop for about $35, and had the grill painted matte (not flat, not glossy, about the color of the new MB grills) black and installed the new grill as well. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?threadid=11123
It is an inexpensive upgrade, and looks like this:



Enjoy your new lights!
