OUCH!!! You shouldn't have paid that much, my friend. For anyone else looking for these clips, they are Lexus part # 90467-07211, and should cost roughly $1.74 each. If you get a price higher than that, call around to different Lexus dealers if it's possible/convenient for you. $5 a piece is waaaaay too much...

See Javy's post above yours. There is no other source than Lexus. Just don't get ripped off because they jack the price through the sky.

Huh, I have different clips than those. Mine are entirely flat and I have to use a small flat head screw driver to pry up the middle section and then pull out the clip.

That's because you have an 07 model with the new clips. Lexus no longer makes the old clips found on the 2006 models.

In the volume Lexus/Toyota buys them, about $4.99 markup each.

They've changed the clips, though - these fill out the hole better and don't break NEARLY as easily. However, they are unfortunately a bit more difficult to take out than the original clips. To take these out, you have to work your fingernail into the center lip of the button, instead of just pressing the small head all the way down like on the original clips. Anyway, I like the new ones WAY better than the old ones...
The part number shown above from Sewell's site matches the one I have on my invoice, so the part number is right. They just put a picture of who-knows-what next to it.
