Putting headlight wipers on a car that did not come with them

[OCKlasse]

I have located a set of headlight wipers with motors, does anyone know what is involved in making these work (besides the new piece under the headlights I'd have to buy). Thanks!

you would need the electrical wiring, and the pump and hoses from the washer bottle.

hmm... our cars aren't prewired for them I assume.

There is a part number for a kit that's there so you can retro it to your car, if you can't find it by searching let me know and i'll see if i can find it.

I don't believe the 202 has fluid that comes out for these wipers. If so mine are broken.

call me crazy, but i don't think the c-class had wiper fluid for the headlight washers. the wipers themselves were only activated when the mist function to spray the windshield was used as well.

and judging by the square connector in the pic, it almost looks like the power for the headlight washers is piggybacked onto the headlights like the foglights are on the C36 and C43.

edit: oh brandon, i forgot to mention you can probably just drill the headlight trim you have now. the only difference is the fact that the whole is drilled on the other pieces, and there probably is even a round mark on the back from the OEM mold that shows where the hole would be stamped when the option is flagged at the assembly plant.

in either case, those headlight trim pieces are only like $25 brand new from the stealership. just be careful taking them off, because the rubber trim underneath is attached to the bottom side of the fender as well, and they can tear easily if you leave them dangingly or pull to hard.

i have wipers on my c43 and my c36. when you hit the windsheild spray with the headlights ON, the wipers have little nozzles built in that spray fluid onto the headlights then they wipe them.
