Default C6 newbe question - Hud problem

Just bought a 2005 C6 this weekend.

Got the price much lower because the HUD wasn't working. At night it looks like the blue HUD display only scrunched at about 1/4 of the size. If I change modes or position I can see it change but it's unreadable. Any ideas?

Swap the projector. Easily available from any of the GM parts distributors here. (Adding HUD to non-HUD C6's is a very, very common mod.)

Will set you back a couple hundred bucks and an afternoon. But still prolly cheaper than what you would have likely paid had it been functional.

Do we have to take out the dash to swap the Hud projector? Where can one be purchased?
