You need the HUD cluster, HUD reflector (if you feel like cutting your dash and see MPH on the windshield), and wire harness. Make sure the assy is for the type of engine you own. If you have a DOHC you will need a DOHC HUD assy, if is a SOHC...and so on. Search and you will find more about installation,etc.....

It will reflect on any windshield. However, during the day, it will be a little difficult to see. A piece of 5% window tint will help out nicely.

Anybody know where to get a piece of that reflective decal that's on the corner of the windshield for reflecting the HUD speed numbers during the day? I'm gonna check with nissanparts and see what they come up with.

The dealer does not sell reflectors. The HUD windshields have the reflector built into itself. Last time I checked it was $1300 for just the winshield.

Static window tint from any local auto parts place.
