HUD not working Lowbeams out
Ive tried researching this and just cant seem to find out these 2 issues I have.The HUD the up and down mirror works because I see it moving when I push the button but there is no projection coming out of it.Just before this happened it wouldnt turn off(I was thinking a fuse or stuck on off switch) The lowbeams arent working either(this was like that befor the HUD) any help is appreciated.

Although Im starting to feel like Im talking to my self, I played around a bit with some wires and now the HUD is working again.
BUT the HID low beams arent working any one have any experience with these things??? are there fuses in the ballasts or something that the only thing I havent checked.

Just got back from the STealership.I knew it was gonna be a little for a lot of money but jeeze!!! Astonomical prices.... at least the problem is solved it ended up being a relay and some headlight control module.The HUD supposedly needs to be replaced all together(gonna have to wait on this one)Hopefully no more electrical gremlins.

The supply of C5 HUDs is limited. GM stopped selling them unless the purchaser was replacing an inoperative unit.
