Lexus IS - Video tutorial

Model: Lexus IS MK 2 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Light bulb
Operation: Installation of LED strip in the luggage rack

The installation of a LED strip (adhesive strip) inside the luggage compartment will certainly improve visibility: it is basically a matter of identifying the position in which to attach the strip and power it; for this reason the best position is the one near the original lamp holder; then extract the lamp holder from its seat, remove the bulb and insert the cable to power the led strip; at this point glue the strip and connect it to the socket located in the original lamp holder: in this motion the LEDs will turn on when the hood is opened and will turn off when closed.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
