fyi.
i've bought a new aftermarket foglamp ($123 at rockauto.com) and easily installed onto the bumper within 5 mins.
the wire hook-up easily connects to the back of the new lamp and there's a built in screw also on the back side of the lamp that fits thru the hole in the bumper where the lamp is housed. the lamp snaps right into place and i've used the original hex nut to tighten the screw which is easily accessable from underneath the bumper through a protective undersheet.

Just an update:
I took SK's advice and cleaned the IACV with throttle body cleaner. I didn't even have to remove it to clean it. I just took off the air filter hose, and was careful with a new cloth rag. I bought some cleaner that's made to spray inside as well. After cleaning, the car runs absolutely perfect.
Cleaning the IACV took about 20 min for an immaculate job and $3 in cleaner. It's so worth it, I would do it on any higher mileage car that showed the simptoms of hesitating when starting, or even slow, irregular, or rough idle.
GREATE ADVICE SK! Thanks for the tip.

i've lost the driver side fog lamp and am planning to get a used replacement, but before i do i would like to make sure that i can install it when i get it. the wiring plug behind the lost lamp is still good. without having the lamp physically yet, is it just a matter of plugging in the wiring to the lamp and snap the lamp into place underneath the front bumper? please advise if anyone has any idea.
Thanks.

Are you planning on replacing the grill? If so, are you replacing it with an aftermarket grill? I have looked everywhere and there are no aftermarket grill kits for any ES300's.
i was just looking for a 1997 es300 grille and found some on rockauto.com with reasonable price. i think those are aftermarket parts. i have also found some used grille on car-part.com.
