for ML which one do you prefer.

I'd love to get the Icons but I've heard that it looks a little strange unless you replace the metal arms too. Here's a another thread with pictures of what I mean. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w163...er-update.html

Thank you...returned the OEM and got the ICONS.....drove around in the snow ..excellent would be a understatement.
Looks decent on the metal frames to me as well.

Glad to get rid of the old ones made noise like hell....

I just got the Bosch Icons and I like them too. The look is clean and they do a great job of cleaning the windshield.

Still have the OEM ones, but if I happen to see the Icon's I would get them right away. I don't suppose they sell the Icon wiper arms at the stores would they? I remember reading that you have to order the arms from somewhere, or if you order the Icons from Bosch you can buy the arms too.

The Icons attach to your existing wiper arms.

I know, but I like the Icon wiper arms because they're lower and look like they belong.

AsianML out of curiosity, where have you seen the arms? I can't find them on Bosch's site.

I don't know. I thought I remember reading about it from redeye, but I guess not. So where do you get the wiper arms then?

You did read about it from redeye. Look at my first post on this thread, it has the link to the thread about his wipers. He got his from someone in Germany. So we're back to square one, where do you get wiper arms like that in the US?

Does anyone have pictures of their icons on the OE arms by any chance?
