Your MB hand book should tell you which equipment these fuses service. You should know how many amps the new equipment you are installing draws. Then make the decision whether to use those fuses. The modern car is sensitive to new electrical equipment. I would really use the services of a up to date auto electrician or at least gain some advice from him or her.
What are you going to using the 12V pickup for?
