Default Low HUD light
Any ideas how to make the HUD brighter I can barely see it in the daytime or at night., I adjusted it as far as it will go up. I even cleaned the hud window and the windshield but no luck..any ideas?

If you slide the switch down towards the dim, does it get dimmer, or stay the same no mater where you move it?

During the day the HUD should be brighter then at night. There'* a sensor to the left of the HUD, do you have something covering it?

It could be the dimmer switch is bad. If so you will have to replace that switch on the dash
