No

I don't think Mercedes ever had lights under the hood. My 96 doesn't have one.

Under hood light

Why not? They have lights everywhere else, but if you need to check under hood in the dark your out of luck.

They feel that the owner doesnt need to worry about checking fluids or anything as the car will display a message in the dash. Heck even my TL, E55, and Odyssey dont have one. They are that confident nothing will breakdown on you.

They don't have hood light especially foregin cars. If you want a car with a hood light, get a American car. Or at least buy a flashlight for emergencies in your glove box.

That's not true. My 91 BMW 3-series had a hood light

I would also have to say that this is not true, my 86 951 Porsche and 92 968 Porsche both have lights under the hood.
