It looks like ultrasonic sensors for an aftermarket alarm.

I thought that but can't find anything which looks out of place. Had an SLK320 before and engine bay looks the same no unusual boxes or unexplained holes/brackets.

Have you sent a query to Homeland Security yet? Maybe you should... But I wouldn't worry. Really.

That would explain the head shaped dent in the passenger side roof panel. and I just thought that was a special feature for taller passengers.

I didnt see the one on the right side... I would tend to agree that it is part of an alarm system and the red light is the armed signal.....

They may not be functional. It may just be a theft deterant?

Hi,
I have exactly the same in my 04 XF. The two 'sensors' are microphones for a Parrot hands free kit. The red indicator lamp is for setting up the 'Homelink' garage door opening system. This is described in the owners manual.

Colin.
