Headlight ducts/buckets alternative PNs?

OE specific parts for the 036:
124 528 09 04 left
124 528 10 04 right

The headlight ducts/buckets are missing on my car, I guess they were removed to improve air supply to the engine when the supercharging was done. I have missed out on a couple of sets for sale here on the forum so I am still on the hunt. I recently came over a set for sale here in Norway which they claim comes from a 500E the PNs are: 124 528 05 04 and 124 528 06 04

I don't have access to any EPC anymore, so could anyone confirm that these can be used?

Many thanks Dave! :thumbsup2:

That's good to know. BTW it's pity that the EPC ceased, I feel pretty much lost on parts info now.
However, then I'm good to go on those ducts I've found, the missing parts are slowly coming together.
 
Arnt, the online EPC like the ones linked above are very handy - but do not show footnotes, serial/chassis/engine break points, etc.

You can download an EPC that will run either natively on Windows, or in a virtual environment that will run on Windows or Mac. No need for a very "current" version, AFAICT Mercedes stopped updating older chassis many years ago - they don't show the newest part number supercessions in the EPC anymore. I'm using a 2018 version but anything 2010 or later would be fine.

:matrix:
 
Couldn't get the EPC in post #4 to work, so I have another PN question related to the headlight ducts; the rubber sealings sitting underneath the headlight ducts. I guess/hope they're not 036 specific and this is the only numbers I can find: #124 826 05 80 and #124 826 06 80
Both appears to be easily available new, supposed it is the correct items.

Arnt, those seals are used on pre-facelift cars only. They attach to the headlight lens frame.

I'm not quite sure what the purpose is, and if you have modified (vented) trim panels, this gasket would need to be deleted to allow airflow.

OK, many thanks! To my understanding are those to seal for water & dirt coming from the underside, but I cannot recall seing much of that coming upon the bumper.

My car is fitted with vented trim panels ATM and everything around the headlights are removed to improve air supply to the supercharger. The air filter and intake to the SC are both inside the engine bay, but this will be moved to open, fresh air. Everything around the headlights will then be built back to stock; headlight ducts, wipers, panels, sealings etc...
