I'm not sure they all come with plugs but I know some of them do - even if they don't have the wire plugs connected.. .so first check on the Passenger side (I believe) for any plug sticking out with terminal connections, the go from there. Check out www dot dieselgiant dot com - he may have a pictorial on it... can't rememeber.

Edit: just checked and yes - here you go: http://www.dieselgiant.com/mercedesblockheaterinstall.htm
