I've not worked on the newer stuff, but since I know what your talking about, (and wow to the lexus nomenclature again) logic tells me that green would be on the right or passenger side and red on the left.

Aloha and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thank you so much for all your help. Thank you Sha400 for your responses, it's not that I did t trust you. I needed to make sure I get the right part because I didn't want to end up buying a new engine and especially living in Hawaii there is limited resources. Mahalo for all your help.
