The plunger you're finding is likely for the alarm system.

Open the hood, get someone to press on the plunger and then set the alarm - release plunger and see what happens....

Far as I know, MB doesn't provide underhood lights - at least my '92 300SE doesn't have one.

Yeap, I have a 300TE and a 300CE, none has under hood lights.

That's why God invented flashlights.
