hmmm... i get the general census, but... i cant read all of the japanese :rant:
Looks good! - If only I could be bothered taking my paras out of my car again, it was to hard putting them in, in the first place to bother... well maybe not. :doubt:
If i'm not mistaken that orange cap also looks different to the one's my paras has, i'd wanna be sure that it's held in the same way before I go to the trouble of openning them up for nothing!
Use the Babelfish website translator available through the Altavista.com search engine to translate between Japense <---> english.

I wonder what the hair dryer is for? :confused:
He soaks the headlight assembly in warm water to soften up the rubber seal around the lens for easy removal, possibly he uses it to dry it out afterwards or assist with the seal softening process?
He also uses some type of aluminium tape to improve the indicator reflector by the looks...
When finished he also seals the lens back up again so I assume he uses the hair drier to set whatever glue/adhesive he used?
