Yes, buy a stand alone

Lights are not affected by a conversion

Yes if you can match up the input wires and figure out what type of signal it expects. Some are analog and work fine directly connected, some use a different anaolog signal and need a step up/down box such as dakota digital's offering, some are CANBUS and require a few extra steps

If your car is a 1984 190e, it has a old school cable.
