Lightbulb Do you have any nominations for updates to the 2IS FAQ and DIY Thread?

If you haven't read the 2IS FAQ and DIY thread please click here.


I'm again taking nominations for links for threads that are not already listed that you have found most helpful, or you see being asked over and over again. Also for exceptional DIY (do it yourself) threads you have posted or read on the forum. I plan to move the DIYs into their own section to make them more easy to find in the next FAQ version.

If you recall & have multiple links for answers the same question, please post them and I'll merge the threads and use the new link for the FAQ.

You must post a URL in order to nominate a thread for the FAQ please.

Yes, the AFS light on after people lower their car comes up a lot.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...light=blinking

there is the fix with pics. That should be a sticky.

Also, there was a really good oil change thread that had even more pics on it. It was better then the current one that we have right now.

A nice fix for the php/mysql back end would make it to where we could do a search on 3 letter acronyms. for example: search for the following:
diy
afs
lsd
The search function wont let you do 3 letter searches.

Thanks,

Thanks - very good one to add. We have the FAQ up so that the top of the forum doesn't get clogged with stickys.

I'll add links with some suggestions on how to search with small # characters in the site questions (two ways - use wildcards, or use google). Sorry we won't touch the back end.

Do you have a link for the oil change thread?

No I sure don't dave, and it was a real good one. Let me keep searching and I will try some wild cards.

Thanks,

The thread about swapping out the door/dome/puddle lights. Also perhaps the threads on how to install the OEM front lip and rear spoiler

Here's another "painted emblems" thread that gives lots of good instruction - not quite a DIY, but close.
