Hello everyone. Continuing to baseline my 2000 LC.
I've read through a couple of threads on fixing the AC drip by either ordering a new rubberized/foam gasket (called "heater core packing" part #88578-47040 -- got the part # from one of the other threads) or doing the DIY method of using some RTV or some other gasket maker to seal the box. I think I'd rather order the OEM part -- ignorant here, but wouldn't using silicone/RTV/gasket maker make it more difficult to get off in the future?
My confusion is this:
Likewise, the cabin air filters are opposite -- ToyotaPartsDeal says it can't confirm Part# 88568-60010 for my vehicle while the dealer websites can. (And do I need to order 2? When I opened up the slot there were none installed.) Read some confusing threads that talked about how it seemed inconsistent that some LCs had filters, others didn't, people doing mods to add the slot, etc.
Also, can anyone confirm the part # for the glovebox bulb? I can't find it on the PartSouq diagram. A search came up with part # 90981-11014 but it doesn't specifically say glovebox. (Instead, the description says "Console body and trim. Ashtray. Auto trans. Floor shift.").
I'm fairly confident the dealer website would be right on the air filter, but could it be wrong on the heater core packing? I just want to make sure I can believe ToyotaPartsDeal before I call my local dealer to order the same part but don't want to be out $16 for nothing. If not... what's the correct part #?
Thanks in advance.

My confusion is this:
- ToyotaPartsDeal says that part number does fits my 2000 LC
- Norwalk Toyota, McGregor, and my local dealer's websites both say it does not fit (and the only "you might try this part" options given are the actual heater core for $500+; searching under 2000 LC comes up with nothing for heater core packing)
- PartSouq lists the part on the heater core list for my VIN, but says not available
