The fuel filter on a Lexus ES 350 is located in the fuel tank. To access the fuel filter, you will need to remove the rear seat bench and locate the black rubber cover. Using a steel knife, separate the cover that is glued with silicone. Underneath the cover, you will find a plug that needs to be removed. There is also a fuel strainer held by a fuse that needs to be removed. Additionally, the fuel pump connector and fuel pressure regulator should be disconnected. Finally, the fuel pump and the fuel strainer can be removed.
Please note that some newer cars, including certain Lexus models, do not have serviceable fuel filters as the filter is built into the fuel pump located in the fuel tank.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
