stevegasm Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a quick search on the forums and didn't find anything On my way home tonight I noticed the HUD was fairly dim, dimmer than usual. I played with the dimmer switch and when I moved the switch down, it just went from dim to even more dim. I dont think it's the dimmer switch itself because it doesn't flicker or anything, its almost like a non-existant lightbulb is burned out. Is there an easy way to fix it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 hmmm I can't find the writeup, but a known dimming/non-functioning issue in the 94-03 HUD is the photoelectric sensor. it simply has to be resoldered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john99gtp Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 rip the hud out and resolder the photocell thing. ive had to do it twice now, and im going to have to do it again http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=3367&p=&mpage=1&tmode=1&smode=1&key=hud%2Cdimming&language=single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWeb80 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I checked mine before I put it in the GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 tony asked me so I shall say it for everyone. the 94-03 GP hud has the same photoelectric sensor and virtually the same guts. the write ups apply to all 94-03 units, in spite of what they may say. the difference between the 04-96 and 97-03 units is only related to the display output, and the neccesary changes to the wiring pinouts that feed the HUD.

I second that one as I've got a 97+ HUD in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
