lies!

i haven't updated the site in years though, to include the 13B-MSP or 20B engines. the core would have to be in decent condition for rebuilding otherwise they get costly fairly quick.

if you're on the east coast there are other options, if you're on the west coast or in another country aside from the US my number is on the site.

Mazmart: Your wise choice for Mazda parts. In business since 1980. <--- this place, Paul is a great guy !

Not yet, but i'm about to have him install and take out the defective ballast inside my driver's side headlight, dremmel part of it to take out the old ballast and change my coils, plugs, and wires (tune-up) my car. I heard from local peeps that he is very good, so i would give him a try.

if you do it properly you shouldn't need to cut anything in the headlight, i don't recall it being necessary on the last one i did. the housings do have to be separated via heat though, which can be tricky.
