S430 4.3 litre 8 cylinder
S500 5.0 litre 8 cylinder
Not sure on the S430 but on the S500 its under the plastic cover in front of the windscreen on the passenger side of the vehicle. Check if you have a large plastic removable cover at the front of the firewall, if so, its under that. Not inside the vehicle - no room behind glovebox, so resides in engine bay if its like the S500.
Like many car companies, mercedes tends to name its cars after their engine sizes. Though not accurate on some models, that tendency applies here. The S430 has a 4.3 liter V8 engine while the S500 has a 5.0 Liter v8. So essentially, if you care about fuel economy more than horsepower and torque, you would want the smaller engined car, the s430. However, if you only care about power, you would want the s500. Though, if you are in the market for such a car, I would recommend the s63 amg.
Will they fit..? Yes, but they are different in that the 2003 - 2006 have a better turn signal and they added a puddle light on the bottom of the cover. EIther way they are big $$$
