The EQS is a fully electric vehicle with no internal combustion engine, but it does still have a conventional brake light switch — the physical pedal is retained and the switch signals the brake lights and interacts with systems such as the regenerative braking setup and electronic stability control, so the part genuinely exists on this model.
The first-generation EQS (V297 platform) launched in 2022 and continued through the mid-2020s, so a 2022 and 2024 car are within the same generation and the switch is likely to be the same unit. However, minor mid-generation electrical or pedal assembly revisions can affect compatibility, so confirm the part number against your registration with the breaker before buying.
The brake light switch is a pedal-box component and is not driven by motor output or drivetrain layout, so the 450+ and 580 4MATIC variants are unlikely to differ here. Trim level and power output do not affect fitment for this part, so focus your search on the generation (V297) rather than the specific variant.
No — trim level affects interior and exterior cosmetics, not the brake pedal assembly or its switch, so an AMG Line car and an Executive Line car of the same generation share the same switch. Quote your registration to the breaker to confirm the exact part number, but trim is not a fitment variable here.
The EQE and EQS are related electric models built on the same EVA2 platform, and there is a reasonable chance the brake light switch is shared, but they are distinct vehicles with different pedal box assemblies and electrical calibrations. Do not assume compatibility — give both registrations to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference the part numbers before purchasing.
On the EQS, as on most modern Mercedes-Benz models, the brake light switch is mounted on the brake pedal bracket behind the dashboard and is generally accessed from the driver's footwell. Replacement is typically a straightforward clip-and-plug job, but because the EQS integrates the brake signal with regenerative braking and driver-assistance systems, it is worth having the replacement confirmed with a diagnostic scan to ensure no fault codes remain.
