Default Reflector in the bumper

In the rear bumber (GS-350 F-Sport) there is a right and left reflector. Is that an actual light or just reflector? Someone banged my bumper and cracked one. Does the bumper have to be removed to replace? Does anyone know part number ?

Thanks

They're just reflectors, no light and they're about $30-40 each.

Here are the Part Number:
Right: 81910-30040
Left: 81920-30040

You will need to remove the bumper. I believe the standard reflectors are held on by screws.

Lots of owners on the IS models remove the standard reflector and add an illuminated LED reflector and have indicated a screw holds the reflector which makes sense across the Toyota/Lexus lineup. Bunch of Toyota Highlander owners also replace their standard rear bumper reflectors with illuminated ones.

Here's an example for the GS:

Looks like too many lights, borderline rice.

@@peasodos Agreed - just thought I'd share since OP was looking for replacements. He could also buy the aftermarket ones without the LEDs...

@@jms123 there are also these aftermarket ones with no lights and just the reflector:

I too considered changing the rear reflectors for rear fog lamps. I then considered such a thing makes my car unroadworthy. Cheap mod though

Thank you. I personally cannot remove the bumper myself. And if I ask someone to do it, I am afraid it will mess with the sensors.

Also was trying to figure out if the there is a difference between these two as the last digit is different

I think the difference in the number is just to indicate one is for the driver side and one is for the passenger side. Obviously, the orientation will just be different based on which side you are replacing.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but someone backed into my car as well and cracked the rear reflector. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a guide on how to remove the bumper on the 4GS? Is it similar to removing the bumpers on the IS?
