I know this is probably a very odd question, but I just bout a 2008 IS250 AWD from auction and it had been involved in a minor accident. The only areas hit were the front and rear bumpers and the auction company had removed them and thrown them away, so is there any other way to tell if my car had the parking sensors / headlight washers installed? I'm trying to buy replacement bumpers but don't know which one to get.

Check to see if you have a back up camera above the license plate. This is one clue that you had a parking sensor.
Check the dash for a headlight washer switch near the trunk release / gas tank release switch. If you do, you had headlight washers.

no, i have a back up camera, but no parking assist. you need the sensors on the bumper which i dont have. plus i think you need a navigation screen for park assist so if you dont have that , no park assist for you lol.

Park assist is a totally standalone option. It has nothing to do with the backup camera OR nav screen (other than it'll display some info there if the screen exists, otherwise it uses the multidisplay in the dash)
(and the backup camera is part of the nav option FWIW)
To the OP-
Just take your VIN to a lexus dealer and let him look up what options the car was built with.
