Air vent replacement

[harkthesound]

We just got home with our 2013 lx570 yesterday and I noticed that both of the front ac vents by the windows have cracks in them. Does anyone know if these pop out or if i have to get behind them to get them out? Here's the passenger side one, the driver's side is worse. Not a huge deal but it bugs me since we didn't notice until we got home:

So I figured out how to get these out.. it looks like these come as an assembly based on the part numbers even though I really only need the bezel. I couldn't find the bezel's part number anywhere online. A couple of questions, does anyone know why there are two part numbers printed on each of the parts? Also when I search around for these I don't see any color associated with the parts, was there only one color? Can I assume the new parts are going to match?

Congrats on the new ride!

Find an online toyota parts source and punch in the numbers. Some may not be available. May also give info on color.

Also if you don't know about it, check your recirculate door in the cabin filter area. Notorious for being broken even on dealer-maintained vehicles. When you remove the cover door in the back of the glove box, you should see a white door swing forward when you hit recirc on the climate control, and swing rearward when you hit fresh air. If this doesn't happen, search in this section.

Thanks, funny you mention the recirculate door, I definitely broke that on our old 4runner.

I did search for the bezel but I can't find it. Does anyone know why every part I pull out has two part numbers on it? For instance:

Instrument Panel for 2013 Lexus LX570 | Capital Toyota Parts

oemstop.capitaltoyota.net

You want vent outer left/right. $134 each.
55650-60231
55061-60121

Those #s are not the Toyota/Lexus part numbers. Probably supplier numbers. And just like a lot of the components, I haven't been able to find a way to replace little parts or garnish. Gotta buy the whole thing.

Thanks, what about the color? Also I pulled out the entire assembly but it had these part numbers: 55650-60160,55692-60010?

Not aware of any color for the vent pieces? 55692-60010 doesn't show up as a valid part #. The 60160 says 08-13 or 08-11 on different websites. If yours is a 2013, I'd order from the link above (or Partsouq as it's $90 there). It should fit just fine if yours is a 2013.

Ok these bezels are silver colored, i wasn't sure if there were different colors with different interiors.

 

[nwfl4runner]

nope you're good!

 

[harkthesound]

Thank you very much! Ordered both from partsouq
