Can anyone help in identifying this part of the rear bumper? I circled it in red below:



I'm looking to buy an 06 SC430, but the car seems to be missing this trim piece in the rear. I THINK it may be the piece in the picture below labeled as "Refer to Fig 81-12". What do you guys think? Is it a separate piece from the center/rest of the rear bumper? I'd like to know in advance that I can replace this part.



Thanks for any help!

 

I think it's one of the reverse light or back up light. You should see one on the left side as well.

 

Ok, just examined some other pics and I think you are right. I will have to find out how much a replacement costs and barter the seller down for that cost, granted all the wiring is still intact and ok. Thank you!

 

Barter? We are talking about the same $10 piece right?

 

If it is the back up light assembly, then it'll be around $150 for the whole assy

 

Seems like that would be a part/assembly to pick up from a salvage yard. I'd also want to inspect the opposite side to determine why one side is missing and the other is not. ( Did a mounting component on the bumper cover break ?) And the wire connectors have retaining clips to prevent accidental disconnection, how did that occur?

 

You might try ebay too.

 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have not seen the car in person yet, but if I do, I will definitely crawl under there to see what else may be missing and ask why. For now I'll use the Sewell pricing for the brake assembly as a basis for negotiations on price if I do plan buying the vehicle. Thanks again all!

 

Call these folks and see what all this include in their listing. If it's just the clear light cover or the whole wires and stuff:

Either way, you'll need it

 

I checked the car out in person the other day and it turns out that the reverse light is still there and intact. It looks like they might have backed up into something, there were two small chips around the light and the light was misaligned, hence the "disappearing" act in the photos. I pointed it out and the owner did not even notice it before, but he said he would take it to the dealership to have it fixed. I will be taking ownership of the car tomorrow afternoon. Thanks all and glad to be a soon to be member of this section of the board now

 

Congrates on your "new" car. May you enjoy many many miles and years of happiness

 

Okay, I take it back. You won't need the item in that listen. Congrats though!

Thank you all for the welcome! Took ownership yesterday morning on my 06 with 45k miles. Previous owner always had it serviced at Newport Lexus and he maintained all the records. I'm so happy I found this one with an owner who was so meticulous.

Also, he had the dealership realign the back up light so it is fine now!
