Default HUD install

How difficult and expensive would it be to install a HUD on a 98 that did not come with that option?

Once you round up all the parts, the install will probably take around 3 or 4 hours. At least that's what it took in my case.

Yours would be more expensive than 99-newer models because you would have to replace your instrument cluster with one that is HUD compatible. If you bought a used one, you'd have to reset the mileage as well.

I heard you can avoid paying to have someone update the mileage on the new cluster by just switching out the computer....
