I believe the hud adjusts brightness based on the ambient light in the car. There is a sensor on the dash I think.
I could be completely wrong about this but I thought I read it somewhere.

True.
Also, if you wear polarizes sunglasses, the HUD looks very dim.

The HUD adjusts to the natural light.

Should be fine. Clean projector lens cover on top of dash. WATER ONLY.

-Bill. :D

I could not tell a difference between my old 00 coupe and my new 04Z, so my gut response would have to be: No, they don't get dimmer over time. :cheers:

I haven't noticed it getting dimmer on any of the Vettes I've had. Hopefully this won't become an issue in the future.
