Here's some info I saved in reference to the pix you can get to from the
link that follows:

The plugs are available through mercedes benz parts 
Part # 011-545-50-28 you will need 2 of these at 2.55 each . 
The pins are available at MB parts also 
Part # 003-545-26-26 you will need 12 of these at 2.55 
each .
these are a solder type plug so you will need wire and solder and a 
soldering gun and flux to do this or you can go to a salvage yard and get 
the left and the right taillamp harnesses out of a 190E Mercedes Benz.they 
come with the wires already solderd to the pins and the plastic plugsthat 
fit perfectly to the euro lamp!!!
Now the hook up.
there are numbers on the back of the lamp next to the pin it locates . 
56b LOWBEAM POSITIVE TOP LEFT PIN 
56a HIGHBEAM POSITIVE TOP RIGHT PIN 
57 SIDEMARKER LIGHT MIDDLE LEFT PIN 
58 INDICATER LIGHT IN HEADLAMP MIDDLE RIGHT PIN 
Wire 57 & 58 TOGETHER 
31 GROUND LOWER LEFT PIN 
31 GROUND LOWER RIGHT PIN 
wire 31 & 31 TOGETHER
