Default 99 coupe HUD enabled cluster???

How can you tell if your cluster is HUD enabled,with-out tearing it apart?I'm thinking about doing the HUD install and was wondering if mine is good or do I need a new cluster???

Hey how are you? I think the only way to tell is by taking it out, either by the part number or up on top there is a connection that the other doesn't have. I believe you are in the iffy year where some clusters had it and some didn't. Even if some didn't have the actual HUD they had the HUD cluster. I would PM Connecticut, he seems to be an expert with these and I'm sure he'll have all the answers. i know that he sadi he could swap one out in 15 minutes so it's probably not that hard to do!!! And if it turns out you need a HUD cluster he has one for sale, CHEAP!! he is only asking $180 plus $10 for shipping, I've seen these go for $250. SO Good Lcuk!! Dan

crab, if your vin is past 106000(last 6 of the vin), then i'd say you already have the hud cluster, i'd check before you get a new cluster, my '99 was hud enabled

ck out www.vetteessentials.com for the bezel install, when you remove the inner 13mm nut under the column, note the oval bushing that will drop

I checked my vin# the last 6# are 111423 so it looks like my cluster might be ok.It is a Canadian car but I don't think that would matter for the hud,I don't think there is much difference other than I have a cool 300mph speedometer.
