Default Dim HUD?
Even at full brightness I can barely see my HUD on a sunny day. Looks fine if it is overcast or night. Is this normal?

"Dim" is a relative word. But yes, in direct sunlight, the HUD can be hard to see, especially if you're wearing polarized sunglasses

Mine is fine in the bright sun, but as one person mentioned it really goes away with polarized sunglasses. If fact, here is a funny story. About 2 days into corvette ownership I am leaving the house and making a turn. I stop at a stop sign and put on my sunglasses. I drive about 1 min and notice the HUD is really dim. I say...well at least it still has warranty but a drag I have to take it in. about 5 min later I remember I put on my sunglasses....took them off...all better.

No issues so far with mine, but on my C5 the HUD would wash out in bright sunlight.
