Not a bad price. The rear (transmission) mount is easy, 30 minutes tops. Good DIY project. The motor mounts are tricky. A lot of people just swap the rear mounts themselves and see if it makes enough difference not to bother with the other mounts.

hmm, well i already ordered all 3 mounts online -- tot was around $258, shipping inc. so i hope either way, the vibration / noise alleviates once this is done. the last major maintenance that was performed was the timing belt / water pump about 7k mi ago (at 97k right now).. and the strut rods at the same time -- and those certainly helped eliminate some clunks.

again, thanks for your help.

There are three mounts.

Two - 12361 INSULATOR, ENGINE MOUNTING, FRONT

One - 12371 INSULATOR, ENGINE MOUNTING, REAR NO.1 (this is the rear or sometimes called transmission mount)

Thanks again, curious. The word interchangeability of that rear / trans mount was thoroughly confusing me. I thought 12381 was going to be the transmission mount through process of elimination.

I think some of the pictures provided here also confirm what you're saying:

Could you opine on whether $250 in labor is a pretty reasonable fee to swap these out?

Thanks, curious.

This was what I was able to come up with:

12311 BRACKET, ENGINE MOUNTING, FRONT NO.1 RH

12311-50021 1UZFE..UCF20 1 $121.80

12315 BRACKET, ENGINE MOUNTING, FRONT NO.1 LH

12315-50011 1UZFE..UCF20 1 $121.80

12361 INSULATOR, ENGINE MOUNTING, FRONT

12361-50100 1UZFE..UCF20 2 $197.28

12371 INSULATOR, ENGINE MOUNTING, REAR NO.1

12371-50060 1UZFE..UCF20 1 $69.37

12381 STABILIZER, ENGINE MOUNTING

12381-50080 1UZFE..UCF20 2 $32.45

12391 INSULATOR, ENGINE MOUNTING FRONT, HEAT, RH

12391-50040 1UZFE..UCF20 2 $18.31

I believe the insulator engine mounting (front and rear No.1) would be what I need for the engine mounts (again, I'm assuming brackets don't need to be replaced?..).

I'm still having a difficult time locating the transmission mount. Does anyone know what particular section it might be located in? I've checked Engine --> Mounting; but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding section for Transmission -->Mounting?

Hi,

Could someone kindly provide me with the part #s for the motor mounts (front and rear) as well as the transmission mount for a '99 LS400?

I tried searching the park place auto parts site and was only able to find the Front mount and the Rear mount -- but I couldn't find any search results for the Transmission mount.

Also, if I were to bring this to an independent to perform the change, do I need to purchase the mount brackets?.. I presume not, but I figured I'd doublecheck.

So far, the front and rear ($110 / $40 respectively) mounts are totaling to $140.

The front "parking" lights on my similar 00 LS are the small clear bulbs you can see in cutouts in the reflectors of the outside main headlights. On the driver side, the cutout is at about the 10 o'clock position.

The replacement guide on www.sylvania.com indicates that the bulb number for the "Parking light" is 2825.

These low wattage clear lights are called "city lights" in Europe since that is all that used to be allowed at night the cental parts of some cities.

Thanks!, I found the lights. I'll check the bulbs but I'm afraid that it is more than that because both are out.

One other thing to note: I think for the '98 LS, driving lights (which I presume to be what you are referring to as "parking lights") were not standard equip, nor were they an option. That was one of the changes made for '99+ LS400s. They became standard equipment then..which is why you'll see a lot of LS400s of this generation w/ daytime running lamps..and you thought yours were out.

Thanks! I wound up actually taking it to a Lexus dealership -- they just charged the cost of the battery ($4.99), which was consistent with what Radio Shack was charging..and of course, they replaced it for me. A big help..

Hi there,

The key fob remote for my LS400 (1999) has died. Does anyone know which lithium battery I need to buy? Similarly, is the replacement as simple as unscrewing the key, putting the battery in, and reassembling the key? I haven't been able to find conclusive information as to whether or not I have to go through the open door/close door / pedal dance / etc procedures. Hopefully the remote will work just like its twin, once I replace the battery...

Thanks!

I am also searching for one of these; does anyone know why there is a seemingly scarce supply? A quick check on ebay and the internet turns up leads for the 90-94 bumper covers and the 01-03 bumper covers, but nothing for 98-00 besides the bumper reinforcement.

The front bumper on mine looks to have had some putty put into it (or a dent was popped out somehow). I am still considering whether to buy another to install (if I could actually find one...), or try to have the current one repainted. Any ideas as to what's the most sensible approach? My local dealer quoted $499 for a new OEM bumper unpainted. The bodyshop they are affiliated with would charge $300 for paint and labor. $799 seems relatively steep to me, if I could figure out a way to just repaint the whole thing and call it a day.
