Even if they do fit, they are shorter...looks funny if you actually notice it, which the average person doesn't. I remember a discussion about euros and US wipers some time back. Might be worth investigating before we start up this discussion again. Anyone have a link to that thread?

Here's what I found in the pic thread:
US spec - the blade points out
Euro spec - the blade points in
They wipe in different directions. Maybe the 94-95 wipers would work, but the 86-93 wipers will not.

I am really confident that the wipers on my car will work.
They are exactly the same set up as the EURO ones in the picture above.
If someone is interested. I'll throw in all the equipment along with the panel. Or if you're willing to pay for new ones, I'll get you some at my work.

USA wipers do not fit, period.
Unless from a '94-'95, which are essentially same as Euro lights.
The wiper shaft comes out at a different location, meaning you need different sheet metal under the lights as well.
The USA motor WILL NOT fit under the Euro light housing in such a way that the shaft will exit through the USA sheetmetal. If you change just the sheetmetal, the USA motor will run the wipers off the edge of the headlight.
You can, of course, fit 260E sheetmetal, which has no wiper hole at all.

I've got one motor, two new wipers, two new wiper arms, and two new (unpainted) panels with the holes for the wiper arms to go through for sale. All brand new and unused. For 94-95 Euro lights. $120 takes all.

A list of brand new parts for a complete headlight wiper set up is simply ridiculous. I checked the prices on Friday and I was like F that.
