It looks like you don't have any air filters installed in your air boxes.

According to the workshop manual, you do need to disconnect the motor / generator cables. Obviously you should also disconnect both the 12v battery and remove the HV service plug first.

Exclamation manuale Lexus

operazione estremamente complessa la cui prima istruzione è: rimuovere il collegamento di sicurezza della batteria ibrida e tenerlo in tasca per tutta la durata dell'operazione. (Per evitare che venga rimesso a posto da altri in assenza dell'operatore...) Ci sono molte pagine di istruzioni nel manuale d'officina Lexus, ma, personalmente, sconsiglio di provarci, anche se, Lexus, (almeno qui) fa pagare otto ore di manodopera per la sostituzione delle candele, ma il sito web del manuale è questo: https://workshop-manuals.com/lexus/l...nts/page_3602/

please do not touch any of the hybrid cable before unplug the service plug ( safety switch) normally its located in the trunk i had attached copy of the link where to find it https(://youtu.be/nHvVf96pvak?si=50ygul7oXqzLP1_v)

after that you can safelly remove the hybrid cable by reliase the clips and generally take the away from the spark plug location

inverter capacitors take at least a quarter of an hour to discharge. Do not attempt to start the car with the traction battery disconnected, it would be very expensive.erbacco:
