On my 1991 300CE-24 the new sensor came with a length of cable terminated with some sort of connector. It was a simple matter to install the sensor in the bumper and route the cable through the engine compartment and connect it to the mating connector under the fuse box. Easy, took ten minutes.
Some years before I had successfully spliced a sensor (recovered from a wreck) into the twin-core wire, just behind the mounting in the bumper. I soldered it and sheathed the cables individually with heat-shrink sleeving. Again, so problem and it lasted several years.
