Is this the correct rear parking sensor for my STR?

EZ,
I cant find the invioce from Manhattan Jaguar for the actual kit in the photo. But I remember it was half price in the US from here at rip-off Jaguar Australia!
Note the harness shown in these photos above I had to buy seperately! (XR822127) @ US$158.00. Despite the photo, did not come with the kit. My 2002.5 STR was not pre-wired. Maybe the 2003 year STRs were?
The instructions that came with the kit were very good. And it went in easy. Of course drilling is required, but that is very straight forward and well explained.
The hardest part was removing the rear shelf and fitting that stupid little speaker! The instructions are vague. Just make sure you place it as far back in the parcel shelf as possible UNDER THE VENT as you will not hear it otherwise. And when you find the loom plug, check that it works first as there are several similar plugs.
I can tell you it has made life ALOT easier!

My car has the back up alarm but it has quit working. I will not be drilling the bumper or having to replace the harness, or mount the speaker since it is already done. All I have to do is replace parts. I was mainly curious about the cost of the sensors and the controller. I'm not sure which one went bad on my car. Thanks!

Coincidently, I need a left one myself. They worked fine but I broke it taking it out to paint the cover. Saw some used ones on ebay pretty cheap but they are black. I suppose you can paint them?
Funny thing is I've removed and replaced these many times on customer cars without issue. The Jag ones look the same as the Ford ones I've done. I am tempted to call Ford & see what they want for one. Never broke one before but like a dumbass I started prying cause it was stuck.
All they needed was a little WD40 and patience. Thing is to push from the outside while wigling the inside part. A couple small screwdrivers placed to hold the locking tabs out if you don't have a helper...I usually don't.
