Narrative:
While on instrument approach near FAF, encountered helicopter approximately 200 ft below our aircraft in opposite direction. Our aircraft was in near solid IMC on localizer approach to hhr. Perhaps 2 unknown aircraft were in conflict with us. However, only had brief visual contact with 1 helicopter.
