I installed the 98-00 LED third brake light in my 94 C280. First thing to note is that the connectors are different and you will need to get some of the pigtail wires from the donor car. As Wichi said you will throw a bulb out indicator as the LED does not draw as much power as the halogen bulb. i added an extra cargo light in the blank space under the package shelf and wired the light to the third brake light circuit.....no more error. Granted the extra light will be coming on when you use the brake....but no one will ever see it as it is inside the trunk.
