2007/8 w204 steering wheel upgrade

Hi, Guys!
I replaced the steering wheel with one from w/c207 which looks the same and has the same controls. Everything works fine except for the button lights.
What i need to do, to make the ilummination work? The original steering was 4 stroke but it seems to me, that w204 3 stroke steering has
the same airbag like w207 ? Any ideas what to do? Maybe replacing the chips?

Thanks !

Have you watched Raymond Urias YouTube video? I tried a retrofit from later model then realized it didn't work. So he went for something else.
Here's his second try
