I was looking to put new wiper blades on the headlights of my 2004 l322 but are they unavailable now as I can't find any, plenty of P38 ones for sale but not for the l322. Anyone know where i can get them thanks.

Thanks I did do a search but not with the part number as I was hoping to find aftermarket ones. Thanks for your post.

What is the length of the wiper blade? I wonder if P38 ones would fit?

They are 14cm I was hoping that they were interchangeable but I doubt I will be that lucky. The blades have gone rock hard on mine.

The P38 uses 14cm blades, I've just checked. Perhaps if the mounting is not the same, you could use the rubber blades. I wonder also if you could cannibalise a standard screen wiper rubber?
P38 headlight wiper blades are available from Island 4x4 for £1.99 plus VAT.

Thanks Datatek, that's exactly what I will try not a lot to lose at that cost.

I bought a pair of P38 wiper blades and the good news is they can be adapted to fit, I removed the rubber blade from the arm of the new ones then slide out the two metal strips in the rubber, you then need to file a new drift in the metal strips to line up with the mounting clips on the l322 wiper arm, complete job done in 15 minutes and in the future you can reuse the metal strips, total cost was £5.

All that faff isn't necessary. Unless you really want to. I had mine replaced last year . Admittedly they're OEM and weren't cheap, but they are available.

It only took 15 minutes so not really any faff at all, I think the genuine ones were about £25 each so I know what route I would rather take.

Cool. At least we know there is more than one option
