Default Headlights washers/wipers?

My '89 XJS RagTop has the big headlights, and has washers & wipers for these headlights. -It seems practically every other car i see photos of with these Cibei? headlights, do not have the wipers. Do I have an oddity, or perhaps Canadian spec'ed cars were different?
I'm curious, as I need a left side wiper blade bracket (or complete arm assembly), but never see anything listed.
VIN: SAJNL4846KC159703, in case anyone wants to analyze the number.

Cheers

The wipers were optional in some markets and in others were always fitted, depending upon trim specs, the marketing people's latest theory etc etc. All UK V12s had them for several years in the mid to late 80s and not in others withour paying for them. Loads of spares available cheaply in the UK, eg Grublogger, UK ebay etc.

What I am after is a set of Right Hand Dipping Cibiés in top condition (ie correct for USA/France etc). If you find any let me know!

I had them on mine - pulled them out and they are not going back in, unfortunately the postage would be high but if you are interested in paying the postage I have the whole assembly

Default Headlight wipers!

Hi, I'll gladly pay for whatever postage and shipping necessary for the wiper assemblies from you. I bought Grant Francis' steering wheel couple months ago, had it shipped to me here in Canada, worked out fine.
My e-mail is ghiltz01@hotmail.com please contact me ASAP

Thanks,
