Hello All,

I'm looking at 95 E300D's and I noticed some have headlight wipers and some don't. Does anyone know the significance of this? I read something about a redesign, is that it?

 

you can install an additional headlamp wiper / washer for your car.

it is a special installation for your car. the parts cost $255. installation is another charge.

 

I've always thought headlight wipers were silly. It's just another unnecesary (but unique) option, unless you take your car mudding with the 4X4 trucks. I guess you could make use of them if you lived on a heavily travelled dirt road in Seattle, WA or London, England. They're more for show unless you live in a third-world country with no paved roads and lots of rain.

When I bought my car only one worked. Now neither work.

 

The headlight wipers were an option when the car was ordered. Cost about $320. I ordered them for my car (95 E300D), and have enjoyed having them.

 

Hi My car has the headlight wiper too, but i don't how to turn it on. Can you tell where a switch is?
Thanks
Sam

 

maybe yours is only for decoration.

try turning on the headlamp, wiper on and push the washer fluid.

 

the wipers will go as you indeed use your washerfluid.

I have headlight-wipers on my SAAB.
they DO help!
when your are driving on the highway, gettin a lot of road-spray at you, there's a big difference in light once you have cleaned the headlights.

when you had some rainy days, stop over at a gas-station, take a paper towel and clean just half of the headlight, with the lights switched on.
there is a clear difference

 

Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.
