Default HUD Install

I bought one of Josh's HUD kits on his special. My 99 is in the 15,000 serial number range and had the HUD connector dash. I finally had time to install it. His instructions are excellent. I followed them exactly and had no problems. I suggested a couple of things he might want to add. My projector lens was broken under the shipping tape. Rather than return the projector, (time, shipping costs), I purchased a sheet of Lexan. It is the same thickness (.020) as the original plastic, but won't break. I had pieces left over. I have sent them to him to give to any of you who might need them. The double sided tape can be reused if you are careful when removing the broken pieces of the original lens.

Good info!

I have mine coming, and I have some Lexan lying around. Hopefully I won't need it; but if I do it's good to know I can easily fix it.
