One thing I find curious that I forgot to mention was that each of the license plate lights seem to be independently controlled with a mercury switch that turns them off as I lift the trunk lid, though this has no effect on the dash indicator.

Why are they switched to go off when lifting the trunk lid, and why are they independently switched?....... strange..... I'll never understand the logic behind some of MB's designs.
