I am going to be installing euros in my SDL this Sunday but I will be putting the headlight facia and adjusting wheel in tomorrow. Basically, all I need to know is how much of the hard line to buy? So far on my shopping list for this includes:

1 vac. check valve
2 "Y" splitters (1 to connect the two headlights to one line then the other to connect to a vacuum source)
?" of hard vacuum line.

Do you ladies and gentlement know of anything else I'll need to buy? How about tips for removing the facia surrounding the headlight switch. I have a new used one and I don't really see an easy way to remove those spring clip things that hold it in. So far I plan to pull the cluster and undo the big 24mm nut once the nob is pulled off. Then, once the cluster's out I think I have to remove the center vents which will then give me access to the nuts holding the dash wood on, correct? When I pull the dash wood piece off will it pull the facia with it?

Thanks
David

i would say 8-10 feet, mercedes sells the line by the meter, so figure that to feet, also here are a few illustrations that may help

Thank you very much gentlemen. I think I might just go back to the junkyard with the euro 500SEL and pull the lines, connectors, etc.

Also, what would I need to pull from this euro 500SEL to give my car the rear fog light? If I would have to install a whole new wire or harness forget about it though it would be nice.

Thanks
David
