identifying parts under the hood

Hello, I've been poking around in Google Images and flipped through my copy of the Haynes Repair Manual but so far I have not found anything that identifies the two circled items in the photo below (cropped screengrab from a YouTube video called "Location of parts under hood Toyota Camry 2006-2011" at 1:20) Could someone tell me what they are?

I am also interested in knowing in general if there is a good, trustworthy site that has a comprehensive set of diagrams, especially the so-called "exploded view" kinds of diagrams, so that I can identify any arbitrary part that I happen to encounter in my car. Thanks!

Since my 05 doesn't have the AC part, it is true that I'm not interested in it :LOL:

However, since I slid into the rear bumper of a Tundra in the snowstorm last week up in Dillon, I am interested in at least knowing what the first part is, even though it does appear to have been unscathed from the collision, if my brakes start going soft there may be a hidden microfracture :oops:

The pink circle is your ABS braking lines and module, the green circle I am pretty sure is part of your A/C refrigerant lines.

There's a bunch of part websites that give you exploded part diagrams but you need to know what to look for to look it up, for example:

I also did a full tour of the Gen 5 vs the new Gen 8 Camry under the hood, check it out here:

If you got that much damage that the ABS module is possibility damage, I would be more concern about the stuff in the front such as the radiator and if anything is rubbing.

Metal lines can bend to a certain extent. If there is a pinch, that line should be replaced.

Luckily(?) it was a corner to corner hit, not going terribly fast, so the damage appears to be fairly localized. I haven't seen any puddles, and I don't think I've heard any rubbing noises, but I'll check it out again in the morning. The headlight assembly has been knocked back almost to the ABS module (but maybe it actually did hit it during the moment of impact). My dad is trying to talk me into letting his friend fix it, and I might if I can convince myself he won't have to deal with the ABS.

Well, as I said in OP, that is a screengrab of a YouTube video. As I said in #6 mine doesn't have the AC valve (but I still wanted to know what it was). When I first saw the YouTube video, I went right out to my car to see if the AC valve had been crushed underneath the headlamp and washer fluid reservoir neck. Luckily, I didn't have to worry about it.... ?

The AC lines on the Gen5 goes near the frame rail IIRC from the condensor...been a while since I replace my condenser. I think the screenshot of the AC line above in the original post is from a Gen6 Camry?

You got lucky. Looks like isolated damage to the hood, passenger fender, and the passenger side support for the headlight/radiator. Bumper for cosmetics. Probably some damage behind the headlight such as a broken water res neck. ABS unit looks OK imo.

Insurance will probably total the car if you claim. Est work at a typical shop going to run at least a few thousand...guesstimating around $2-4K, est value of the Gen5 is < $5K usually. My dad had something very similar damage happen to his Gen4 when he 'tapped' into a back of a truck (he let go his brake and the car rolled into the edge of a trunk bumper). That repair ran about $4-5K IIRC. New hood, body work on passenger fender and inner apron. New headlight, new bumper and grill.
