Default Just bought a lexus, need help to find this part.

Well today I join the LS400 club, well there was a few problems with the car here and there but a big problem is this part.


As you can see below the headlights and in front of the wheels there is that part missing. I need to make sure i'm buying the right part for the job but i'm not sure which one I need.
I was looking at this and I think this is the part I would need.
First off is that part correct, and do I need anything else?

Please let us know the model year of your car.

There are 2.5 generations for the LS400 and the parts you listed are for different year ranges.

I would get the lens next to it as well, so they match in color, you may be able to find it at a better deal at other online Lexus dealers such as Sewell, Park Place, etc.

it appears you need the screw as well, and possibly the backing for the screw

Sewell offers a discount to Club Lexus members

What would be all the part numbers I will need?

Thank You! I spent most of my day off cleaning the car, this guy did not ever have any mats inside it. spent a good 3 hrs cleaning the carpet, 2 hrs on the leather, and a few more washing the dirt on the outside and inside.

It even had leaves and dirt inside the glove compartment. Also he was a pack a day smoker the the 6 months that he owned it, been trying to get that smoke odor out and looks like its working.

Also I have one more question, today I noticed that the headlamp on the left side where the light reflects off is damaged, what part would I need (I have the xenon lights).

you need to learn how to do a search, instead of just asking questions, and you can clean the headlights with toothpaste..... check it out....

What do you mean by "damaged"? Lens broken? If the lenses are not broken and no water has gotten into the headlights the lenses can usually be cleared with a headlight restoration kit - plenty available including brand names like 3M. The better lens restoration kits come with a clear chemical sealant that is applied as the last step to keep the lens from deteriorating again or to slow down the deterioration.

If the lenses are broken, you will probably have to buy complete headlight replacements - check eBay but make sure you are getting the HID ones and not the halogen ones.
