Keep your eyes out on eBay.de. You missed an inexpensive full set 30 days ago. Take down those German keywords...

I have a set of e24 units for sale. The motors are the same but the wipers are vastly different. I also have a spare e9 motor and two mercedes motors. Let me know if you end up with a partial kit. Living up to my title...

It may not directly solve your parts dilemma, but perhaps this might inspire broadening your search for parts that might be adaptable to suit your needs.

That is the same set i mentioned earlier - for around 1100 EUR.
Related but separate topic as I've been following and commenting on the "which headlamps to buy for an e9" thread. The really cool and tragically rare headlamp wiper option would seem to require flat lensed headlamps, yes? Which is to say, the domed units would not be suitable for wiping?

Nope, wiper blades are little bit curved & have long/wide rubber surface, so they will fit good for Bosch or Hella standard headlamps
But you are right - to wipe 100% (not 80%) efficiently, surface of headlamps should be flat.
There was no flat headlamp lenses for E3, E9, E12, E21, E23, E24, E28, E30.

Understood, and thank you. But what are the headlamps in the @lloyd post above? They look flat(ish) to me. At least when compared to high domed lights. I could be projecting...Nope, wiper blades are little bit curved & have long/wide rubber surface, so they will fit good for Bosch or Hella standard headlamps

They are “almost flat” Very flat. If you go to www.rallylights.com they have the lense profile for H1’s.
Yep, these are the lights I have. I guess my description of them being "flat" is slightly exaggerated. I've always considered these flat in relation to "normal" headlamps. Thank you for the confirmation.

Good info! Would you mind if you or I added this to the consolidated notes thread?

Yes, sure. Do it, don't ask Mark
Seeing the pics, this confirms that these lamps are what I call "flat", despite having a gentle domed shape. Thanks for posting the pics for clarity.
By the way, what is "the consolidated notes" thread?

I’m not necessarily in the market, but does that ebay listing include all necessary parts? I also wondered what interior switch was used? That eBay listing seems different also, I don’t see an asking or bid price.
