HUD's (Heads Up Display)? or do you mean HID's (High Intensity Discharge)? i have both, just wondering how you were going to do an HUD retrofit?

yea I mean HUD. I have the complete unit, rather two first ill see if the unit makes viable option size wise cause I like keeping the ability to adjust the display up and down. And if not ill take unit apart and mount it in place. I have all the wiring checked and confirmed and our vss have same pulse per minute as the pontiacs. So we are good.

what do they project onto, a separate screen or directly to the windshield? also what do these units display (MPH, RPM, TEMP, etc)?

**bgood12** · 08-08-2012, 03:35 PM

The HUD display, mph, (ill delete the kph converter), left and right turn signal, low gas, it will show check gauges message for low oil, high temp, and others are just move display up and down and adjust brightness of the HUD display, it will also show other things I'm not sure about as one wire hooks to the data wire.
