I am pretty sure the holder ("Bracket" in the EPC) is no longer available.
Having said that it may be the same as the earlier cars like the 126 series when under hood lighting was more common.

I'd look it up but I just got my eBay package from Germany for the ASR Defeat gizmo I'm making.
I have successfully managed to spend about 50 hours so far in producing something that 2phast and others could do in about 30 minutes.
But I have gone as far as using the correct color wiring scavenged from a junk 500E and a 300E. You will see it but you wont know it's there... The housing that holds the relays is a Mercedes Becker part used on the European 124 Taxi's.
God lives in the details but He also dislikes analyses paralysis...
Kind Regards,

Sigh.... I know, I know, It's happened to all of us.
I'm at the Hotel d'Paris in Monaco in Black Tie talking with some hot babe when the subject turns to underhood lighting. Next thing I know she's walking off with some guy with a rusty ex Cairo 190D Taxi with underhood lighting.
The first time that happened I vow'd to my God "I WILL have underhood lighting!!!" But yet, it has been denied me all these years.
But today, I make this promise, I WILL HAVE UNDERHOOD LIGHTING or my name is not Stasiu Ogorek!
Kind Regards,

Ron

I gather "EDW" stands for the alarm system that all US market cars came with. If the switch is deleted for cars with EDW, then how is the engine light supposed to come on (out of curiosity).
