[W126 Coupe] EURO HEAD LIGHT WIPERS

[Elm Zobens]

Euro valence panels are different than US due to  different placement of the motor in relation to the headlight. I  believe these may be the numbers for the Euro panels- Please verify  before ordering:
  126 880 07 40
  126 880 08 40 
  
  The bracket (126 826 01 14) are for the Euro SEL not the SEC- An error  on my part. I was never able to find the number(s) for just the bracket  for the SEC Euro model. The good news it that this bracket is included  when purchasing the  Euro SEC motors.
  
  I hope this helps!

  Euro headlamp brackets (for motors): 126-826-01-14  $0.78/ each
   
  He  also mentions the front valence panels (must be painted) but no part  numbers @ $38.00/ each.  I don't know if the valences are  different for Euro vs US models and his write up makes no mention of  the valences other than during removal.

    Granted he did this  write up in 2000, so expect the prices to be higher.  If anyone  needs this write up, I was fortunate enough to have printed it out in  color a while ago.  I can scan it into email when I get back to my  office next week.  His webpage wasn't designed for easy printing  on 8.5x11 paper, but all the critical info is there.  One just has  to fill in a couple of  words chopped off the right side.  
   
  Happy Holidays!

          James,

If  you are talking just the wiper arms, not motors, you can buy them at  the dealer. I did just that and mounted them to the US wiper arms (but  Euro lights) and they work just fine. Yes, they wipe the "wrong" way,  but they look more refined, in my opinion, than the US wiper arms.
