I've read all the posts about Euro-lights over a day or so and although there is help about wiring, there is little or no information about the bottom bracket. I bought a pair of Depos, which seem pretty good overall although somewhat crude in some areas. Kind of goes with the cheesy sheet metal screws Mercedes used to mount them. Anyway, the bottom bracket holds the North American wiper assy. if you are going to use it, but it is not a direct bolt-on. In fact, even if you don't use the wipers it will not fit without some mods.

Can anybody please tell me what their solution was for this bottom bracket? I hesitate to use steel angle shelving with all the holes, because of the corrosion problem, even if the holes will be very useful. An aluminium channel would work to mount the wipers again but I do not have the technology to cut slots for adjusting the lights. Anybody got any great ideas? I can't drive until I solve this problem and the lights are going to look deluxe and maybe I'll be able to see again when the sun goes down! Mmmm Guinness!
