What does the sidemarkers mount to on a 2012-14 Sport front bumper?

Hey guys,
Can someone help me figure out what part I need to get for the side markers to mount to on the front bumper of a 2012-14 C250/300 Sport model?

On parts.com, it only shows the diagram of a luxury edition front bumper, so I am confused as to what part is needed because that diagram doesn't even show side markers on it. https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuse...8-%20Liter-GAS





Any help would be greatly appreciate.

I know it's this damn plastic piece right there, but I don't how to find it because all the stupid Mercedes part sites have either the diagrams of the Luxury front bumper not showing me what I need, or the side markers is the pre-facelift side markers and it doesn't show that part as well. No idea where I can get this mounting piece.

Actually, it is not listed under the "Bumper" assembly. Instead, you have to choose:
Electrical
Front Lamps
Side Marker Lamps
Side Marker Lamp
But even then, you won't see an image of it by itself, instead, the image they have on that chart is only that of the actual side marker lens but not the bracket itself!

In other words, the part labeled "1", is the side marker lens and bracket:

It appears that the actual part numbers for a 2012 C250 Sport are:

Right Side: 204 906 73 01
Left Side: 204 906 74 01

To further confirm that it is one and the same part number as the "side marker lens" is that the lens part itself does not have a part number imprinted on it, instead, the number is found on the bracket.

Lastly, as is always the case, providing the dealer/parts retailer with your car's VIN number is the only way that you can be assured of proper fitment.

Hey! Thank you for the response. I ended up finding out the same thing. Whoever the A-hole who sold me the side markers neglected to include the brackets, because when I finally found real images of the side markers, they all came with the bracket. I ended up ordering some DEPO ones because they were half the price. Thank you for the help! Hopefully, this will help out someone else in the future.
