Default LS430 Parking Sensors

Hello,

I'm looking for the following parts for my LS430:

3 x 89341-50011-C0 (Ultrasonic Parking Sensor - Corner - Onyx Black)
1 x 89341-50050-C0 (Ultrasonic Parking Sensor - Center - Onyx Black)

Does anyone have these parts used or know where to get some? If you have them, please PM me.

Thanks!

I researched it before and read that some of the cheap ebay ones work just as good as OEM.

You know what. I did the same thing. Ordered all of them off Amazon for around $60 dollars. When they come I'll install them and give a review.

My feeling is if that they're on Amazon and don't work, I can return them. The seller seems to have a lot of positive reviews - hopefully they are legit.

Are you getting your sensors painted for the ones that you purchased on Amazon? On of my front sensors on my front left is freaking out when there is nothing there and I couldn't tell which one. I couldn't find any flint mica replacements so I went and bought a new sensor from Lexus to replace while my bumpers are being repaired. Anyway if we can paint one with no issues I would definitely like to try it since it would save me a lot of money for one sensor.

For the ones that I purchased, they match the color of my vehicle (Onyx Black - 202) so I don't plan on painting them.

I've heard that these sensors are sensitive to paint thickness. What you could do is purchase a chinese Onyx Black Sensor. Lightly sand off the existing paint and repaint it with the color of your car. Then experiment with by gradually sanding it down until you don't get an error. Although this would take some time, once you found the recipe, you could replicate it with any other sensor.
