Question:

I checked my door side, my so called 2000 model year Lexus LX 470 manufacturer date was 08/99, so I think C55365 will fit. I also found a plug at the rear passenger side close to spare tire which is 6 pin connector , but I am not sure, so needs your professions advises.

Thanks for the pictures!

To determine if your Lexus 470 is indeed a 1999 or 2000, you can look under the hood for an emissions testing sticker which will give the year or you can call your local Lexus dealer with the VIN and they should be able to clear this up for you.

If your vehicle is indeed a 1999, the Curt Custom Fit T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55365, will work for you.

If it is a 2000, then the wiring harness for you would be the Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight Converter Hardwire Kit, # 119178KIT. Although the plug on the # C55365 looks very similar to the one in your pictures, I can not guaranty a fit since it has not been tested on the 2000 model.
