I have a 1997 LS400 which was recently in an accident. I found most of the parts I need to repair in at a scrap yard. However it would be easier if I could identify the parts. The body shop had a nice tool for identifying parts that allowed you to see pictures of parts in a given area. Does anything like this exist on the internet? If not, I am looking for the following:

behind the bumper under the driverside headlight is a little box. Mine is smashed and what is inside my are two sets of electrical sockets each with 2 horizontal and 2 vertical connectors. This is in the wire bundle with the turn signal bulb wires. My driverside turn signals don't flash and the back signal flashes fast, so I would guess it is related to this function, but the passenger side doesn't have a corresponding part and the passenger side turn signal works fine. What is this missing part called?

Also my emission something box got smashed in the collision and was just dangling from the sensor. I got a replacement from the scrapyear, but wasn't sure how to connect the hoses which appear to have been cut. It doesn't look like the ones on the replacement box will reach to the source or that the ones connect to the car will reach all the way to the box. Can I just tape the hoses together? Or am I supposed to get new hoses?

The electrical connection works fine.

Thanks

There is a body collision repair manual for sale on ebay for the 97 ls400. I don't know how to link to it, but you can search collision lexus in the manuals/literature section of "parts and accessories".

Since for some reason I can't post a link to anything (it all just shows up asterisks), go here: (without spaces, obviously)

It should give you all the info you need. I too have a '97, and that's where I get my part #s.
