FX-R bixenon, worked on it 2 years ago. Denso ballast and Philipps 8512? something.. bright white!!! Still working good.

I have to customized the housing being the FX-R housing is bigger. Denso ballast is inside the headlight too.

I guess old engine is out by now ... . It's 5 hours ago when you told me you started the work.

Dennis - ship that whole thing to me in a pallet. Don't disassemble it.

No salvage MKIVs for me and besides I believe I am done with MKIVs. I am happy with what I have. Not unless it is really a no brainer purchase. In GA , it's a pain dealing with cars with history of salvage / rebuilt titles. As an individual, if you get one of those then you are using it for parts only.

Damn , all the while I thought you had a blue 97 SC. Just realized yours is black. So why do you want the black 97 shell if you already have a black one ?

That was my '92 SC400 back in 2008, I hit the center barrier of the freeway lol.

I like yours bacause it is1 of 120 manuals, and it has black interior
