Default Is this lock switch cover available?

I cant seem to find this part anywhere online. It's the cover for the door lock on the passenger door of my 99 LS400. Can anybody steer me where I should be looking to find one, or is this something you have to buy the whole complete switch assembly? Thanks in advance for any replies.

The power lock switch is not serviceable and mus be replaced. Lexus part is available new for ~$85-100 through a dealer, less through a CL vendor.

best bet is to ebay one, or a local yard if they have one. you need a '95-00 passenger power lock switch, earlier ones will not work. Here's one for cheap, you would use just the switches as the wood will likely not match your existing wood. http://www.ebay.com/itm/95-97-ls400-right-passenger-front-door-power-window-lock-control-switch-trim-/261651829509?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cebaa1305&vxp=mtr

agree with PD. also keep in mind on top of the wood not matching, 95-97 window switches are not 'auto'. just a little FYI.

neither are '98-00. the down/up is controlled by the door ECUs.

i thought all window switches on 98-00 are auto, meaning auto up and down, as in there is a second trigger on the switches themselves like the driver's switch?

the switches may be different but you can't just plug in '98-00 switches into your '95-97. there is computer control involved, unlike other lextoy "auto" windows.
