126 Euro headlight part
I installed my 126 Euros today, and thanks to all of the hints on the tech forums, it went pretty smoothly (especially seeing as my new lights convienently didn't have instructions).
However, there's one odd thing I don't know what to do with, that I couldn't find in any other place. My 126 is an 89, US model with wipers. There is a bracket under the lights that the wiper motor mounts to, and this also holds the light in place from the bottom. It fits the US lights, but the holes in it don't line up with the Euros...I got one hole in on the drivers side, and none line up on the passenger side. Hence, on the passenger side, the light is a little wobbly at the bottom. Is there a special bracket I can get for this? Also, I am really thinking about ditching the wipers altogether and installing the solid spacers like on 126 cars without wipers. I already located a set and painted them. If I install these, is there also a bracket to install to the lights are perfectly stable at bottom? Thanks.

I have done some research on this issue this evening, and I might have missed some mention of this issue posted previously on this site.
I am pretty sure I want to remove the US wipers altogether, as the Euro lights are so nice looking, and the wipers are just in the way. Would it be possible for me to just drill new holes in the old brackets and attach the bottoms of the lights that way? I think I will try that this weekend if it seems it will work.

someone attached US wipers to euro headlights.
It was a euro light conversion website. Try searching on yahoo or something. I wish I could remember, but I dont.
