Good find!
Yes, the reflector lamp will fit any position in the instrument cluster that will accept the non-reflector lamp – any of the warning light positions across the bottom. BTW, the reflector comes off – if the bulb burns out, you just move the reflector to the new bulb. The dealer's parts guy and I jointly surmise that most older Benzes that came from the factory with reflector lamps probably had them replaced with non-reflector lamps as they burned out, so that few are now left. I forgot to ask the parts guy the cost of the low fuel light. Next time.
