Default HUD doesn't work with headlights on 04Z

OK, but that isn't the only problem with it. The intensity control works backwards on the HUD but correctly on the interior lights. The HUD paging doesn't work and the HUD vertical adjust is not working. All worked fine prior to removing the gauge cluster to re-bond the bezels. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

OK, not a lot of activity on this thread. I guess this high tech interweb stuff is a little complex for me. You will be happy to know I ordered and changed out the switch and it fixed the problem. It appears that blue LEDs had been installed (read soldered in) by the previous owner and I must have damaged them while removing/installing the gauge cluster. New switch should outlast the car now. Once I get all of the little things corrected it will be time to add a Procharger.

Yeah... and to be fair, you didn't mention anything about soldering anything. Only that you changed the gauge bezels.

Glad you stuck with it though!
