How to replace the front hole bulb of the Lexus IS.

Model: Lexus IS MK 2 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the front headlight bulbs of the Lexus IS, we need to pull the hood release lever and open the hood. For the high beam bulbs, we will use 9005 bulbs, while for the regular bulbs, we will use the H11 model. Let's start by removing the upper cover of the bumper, then using a flathead screwdriver, we remove the locking plastic clips. After removing the cover, we unscrew the screw that secures the windshield washer reservoir to remove it by pulling it upwards. We then remove the headlight cover and take out the lower bulb by disconnecting the connector, and then we insert the high beam bulb. Next, we remove the upper bulb by disconnecting the connector and insert the low beam bulb. We close the headlight cover and reattach the windshield washer reservoir, securing it with the previously removed screw. Finally, we reattach the bumper cover, securing it with the clips.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
