So... are the US wiper motors not compatible with the euro headlight housings? Is that what I am understanding? I know that people change to the blank plates but I thought that was for looks...

1990 300CE, 1984 190e 2.3 (sold)
I'm thinkin the updated look would look better since the CE has a sleek look to it, and the 94-95 hoods match that look. Here are some pictures i found on web. First 3 without bodykit(likely what i'd do). Fourth one with bkit...would be nice but im guessin itd cost quite a bit.

I would wager to say the US wiper motor would work, it is just that the location is off. also, the US and Euro wiper "wipe" oppositely, so I figure you just swap the right to left and you could reuse the motors and even the arms. Doesn't chris's 420 have shorty arms?
