Where can I get an OBD II SRS scanner?
First, get a hold of an OBD II SRS/Airbag scanner. You can either borrow one from a friend or consider buying one.

Is there a way to read the SRS light?
Not only does it read the SRS light (Airbag Control Unit) but also every control unit in your Mercedes-Benz. Note that this does not work with Mercedes-Benz, pre-2000 that require 38-pin connection.
