What the heads-up display looks like. Click on the photo for a bigger picture.(115K) I cheated
when taking the picture by getting a dark background, but you can easily see the HUD while driving during
the day. The HUD displays the tach around the top (from lower left to upper right), the speed in
the middle, and the bar graph on the right can be cycled through the remaining fuel, the water
temperature, and the oil pressure. It also shows the turn signals, the high beam indicator lamp,
and has a "Check Gages" lamp in the upper left corner, because once you start using this, you'll
never look at the analog instruments again, so they need to warn you when something happened down there...
