Default E-Code Headlight Question

Bought a set of e-code C5 lights that are missing the rubber boots on the back that seal the bulb. GM P/Ns are 16524063 and 4064. Bosch reflector number is 1 307 022 109. QUESTION-does anyone have a set lying on the bench where they can take a close look at the black rubber (sort of) doughnut seal on the back? Will probably have a p/n cast in it. Need that number to call Bosch USA. Not available as a separate part from GM. TIA.

Default E-Code Boots

Thank you very much. Again, I've found that German stuff is typically VERY carefully marked, so it will probably (I hope) have the number cast into it. Probably begins with 1 307 .... PM me when you get a chance to take a look.

Molded into the rubber boot on both lh & rh lights.
"BOSCH GERMANY 1300508007"
Hope this helps!

The T84 (euro) and T85 (UK/Japan) headlights use H4 dual filament bulbs
