W124 EURO LIGHT CONVERSION TROUBLE WITH MY WIPER PANEL

I Just put Depot euro lights in my 87 300d, I noticed my wiper panel now doesn't fit on my wiper arm. Does anyone know where to find a new panel that fits the euro lights? Does anyone make a custom panel that just excludes the wipers all together. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

there is a blank panel with no hole for the wipers that you can pick up for about $8 each. There are several threads here that even have the part numbers.

Or, just get the 94/95 wiper panels and wiper assemblies

Yep, either 94-95 panels or get wiperless...they are cleaner like that.

i had the same problem when i did the conversion, and i got the 94 panels. today i went to a junk yard and i even got a spare pare of it so if u want it i can helpe u out.
even if don't want to have wiper u can cover the two small holes they have one for the water hoe and one for the wiper

I wanted to get euro lights and keep the wipers, without converting to the 94-95 wipers or wiperless......is it possible?

If not, I'll just buy new headlight windows/doors and call it a day.

ive tried also but the thing is it doesnt have the same place for the wiper motor so it wont fit.for euro hed lights the wiper motor is more toward the midle, in the old ones is one sided, so you cant do it without modification, which is worthless

you know haow it is everibody has its one likes, the easyest way for u is to just cansel the blade , or actully you don't have to
listen you can get the 94 panel and just switch the blade itselfe. like instead of using the long ones use the 93 ones, cause they have the same sistem

In all the searching i have been doing for mod ideas I came across a note that you can take you wiper moders and swap them (from left to right) because the real euro wipers park on the opposite sides as the US ones. So if you had blank panels and swapped the motors to the other sides and just added the holes in the right place you have euro wipers on euro lights with just a new set of arms/blades.

If anyone has actually done this I am very interested if it really works.

This will help: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...headlamps.html

Do a SEARCH, read a bit, figure out which posts are helpful and make notes. There is a vendor that sells EVERYTHING you could need to complete your look, however you like it. Good luck, and post pics of the finished version.
