i think it'd be awesome. i dont think it would be too hard to do. has anyone done this or even thought about this?

 

watching. i'd love to see this.

 

WOAH. that is so cool. yet so unnecessary. but definitely awesome.

 

Looks like a lot of work, but I'd love to see these on a nice BIPPU-style box definitely.

 

it'll be a first thats for sure

 

LOL one sides crooked

 

its got a "gangsta lean"

 

I used to drive a Volvo s50 with headlight wipers, but never saw the point. I guess it gets the road muck off during snow season. They didn't have a separate contol, rather were on the same circuit / control as the main wipers.

 

I found a set of motors and wipers off a mid 90's E class for the right price, I am gonna wire these to a rocker switch in my center dash.

It's just gonna be something that stands out, I know it's not going to serve any purpose at all other than being an excellent conversation starter and a pretty cool idea.

I will post pics of the progress so stay tuned.

 

wow cant wait to see how the fit.........

 

Hmmm, looking forward to see if this will work!

 

cool idea cant wait to see it

 

rofl... no way... that would be amazing!

 

I thought about doing the same thing when I had my stock headlights. If M-B parts are too expensive or too hard to find, check out the headlight wipers from a Saab 900 or 9000. Those are the ones I was going to use. More readily available and probably a lot cheaper. Plus the 900 headlight was a big rectangle just like our.

I've got Ichikohs on my xB and have thought about finding the headlight wipers that were on some '80s BMW 3-series.

 

thanks for the info rygar, i was looking into the saab and volvo wipers but found a set of E series wipers and motors on ebay for the right price so i picked them up.

i got the wipers in yesterday and its gonna be sick if i can get it to work. my only issue will be the curvature of the bumper and the space between the bottom of the headlight to mount the motor.

i am gonna mock them up when it stops raining and will post pics, i think i made a good choice with the E class wipers

 

would sound great...can't wait to see them on ur car...take a lot of pics.

 

got the wipers in the mail, just held them up to the headlights and its basically spot on with the fitment.

the only problem i am going to have is the curvature of the bumper, on the mercedes, there is a 2+ inch section under the headlight and before the bumper. on the box it goes straight from headlight to curvature of the bumper.

its been raining a lot here so i havent been able to do anything yet.

 

keep us updated with tons of pics

 

those serve no purpose

 

Looking forward to seeing this. While i drive a xA i think it will be a sick mod for your box.

As for them not doing anything, that is not true, as they can keep mud /snow off the lenses and they just look pimp.
