I have been considering fitting after market parking sensors to the rear of a W124 estate. I would go for a relatively simple system with a warning sound indicator rather than any dashboard lights. Most of the systems utilise a connection into the reversing light circuit. Can someone please advise whether such a connection will cause the failed bulb detection to be activated? Thanks for your help.
 
Hi,

I have just fitted aftermarket parking sensors to my W202. It works fine without causing the bulb detection to be activated. If it would still happen to your car, you could fit a small relay for powering it up. (I have bought one as well just in case, but never needed it.)
