So I have a HUD from a 93 pontiac Bonneville that I am putting in my custom dash. I've bench tested it and it powers up just fine However I am having a Brain Fart trying to figure out why it is backward. When I have it powered on the bench and I hold a piece of glass up to act like the window the reflected image is backward and I can not figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Dazed and confused

Did the factory setup use a mirror to display the image on the windshield? Maybe that is why it is backwards.

You must have taken it out of the box...

If you hold the entire HUD assembly up to glass it will display nomal.

I have that same model. It's kind of large but there is lots of room in the firebird dash.
