I had a valley plate leak. I had to disconnect the injectors from the wire harness to clear up some room. When I tried to reconnect it, the injectors just fell apart. Also, latches on four connectors broke off due to aging plastic.

I have exactly the same problem now! Had the knock sensor issue, decided to replace, disassembled the car today, found the coolant leaks, decided to fix with sealant, started to remove the plate and broke 2 high pressure injectors and 4 connectors🤦
So here is the question : did somebody try to install chinese injectors from eBay?

One injector from Lexus is $200 somehow I don't think 8 for $133 will be anywhere near OEM quality.

No, I bought low mileage injectors off a parted out GS350, the part number is the same. But the mark on injectors must be the same for the same bank.
