The side-lights in the tail-lights are notorious. It is an outside light system only, not inside lights, and as it comes on without the headlamps or foglamps on I would eliminate them.

Can also be the lamp/warning module itself, open the cover behind the fusebox and it is the longest plug-in module.
I have the same problem in my 300TE. I am going to the junkyard next weekend to grab one of these units to see if it resolves it. My warning light only comes on when I turn on the headlights too. As said above, it is the long black one. There should be short ones and a long one...hard to miss.

Alternatively, you could always pull it out and check inside the box for bad solder joints. I did this to my Multi-Purpose Relay (The smaller one) and it fixed my wiper problems.
