Default Looking for DIY spark plug replacement IS250

This is my first post on CL, even though I have been reading for quite a while now. I am approaching 60k miles on my IS250 AWD and wanting to replace the spark plugs per the Lexus maintenance schedule. I have never replaced plugs in a car before, but figure it can't be too complicated. I searched CL for a DIY for my car, but didn't find anything. Has anyone done this yet? Any problems that I should address (i.e. difficulty accessing plugs, etc.)? Thanks for any help.

Default Has anyone done a spark plug DIY?

I have like 80k on the lex now and need to change out plugs. Would like to do it my self but kinda hesitant on it without any instructions. Has any one done one or can some one give a heads up on directions if you've already done it. Thanks.
