Gen1 PN's and parts source for front end-'95 Avalon

Well, I didn't attempt driving yesterday after an ice storm hit Dallas/Ft.Worth Monday night. Today, however, I succumbed to the "black ice" on the freeway, spun out, hit the median, etc. They don't budget for sand trucks here, so everything's still pretty treacherous. The extent of the damage looks like (at this point) a front bumper and driver's side signal light. I'll be doing the work myself this time, liability doesn't help here. Could anyone recommend a source of affordable used parts? I am also in need of a parts manual or parts listing if anyone could send a link. The car's drivable, but state inspection is up this month, and I would have passed fine with the lights intact, but now....
Thanks.

Yeah, the roads are pretty bad around here.

I'm sure you can get a bumper and everything from the junkyard, like pick n pull. I was at the one in South Dallas a couple weeks ago and if I remember the avalon I was getting a part from still had the front bumper intact.

What color is your avalon?

Great, thanks! My avalon is maroon/burgundy. I'm not so concerned about color right now as much as just passing inspection. I'm thankful that the airbags didn't deploy and that the damage is not more extensive.

Seems like the headlight needs to be replaced also, hopefully there isn't more damage under there.

Months later, I finally got some parts to do this job. The bumper reinforcement and brackets were broken so I pulled the whole assembly. It'll be 2-tone for awhile but at least it'll be intact.
