Thread: HUD problem

Hello again,

I need some advice, im hoping someone has some experiece directly in this area that could lend some knowledge,

My HUD cannot be seen during the day, I figured that the previous owner may have just had the windshield replaced and tried saving a few bucks by not having a non-HUD windshield installed, But I drove it the other night for the first time at night (ive only had the car for about a week ) and i noticed the HUD gets really dim to where you can hardly see it at night to regular brightness, its fades in and aout in a cycle of about 2 mins. I was wondering, is this a problem with the HUD unit on the top of the dash, or possibly a problem with the HUD dimmer switch on the panel?

Thanks in advance for replies.

I've a Q about HUDs as well. Is there anyway to make the display brighter? For example, my first two digits are dimmer than my third (100 MPH+). is that just normal wear & tear or is there something i can do about it to make the common part of the display brighter. (I do have the dimmer switch turned all the way up.) I've read somewhere in the forums about changing bulbs? would that work/how is it done?
