I like the title, although I was confused and thought this was a new requirement from the Housing and Urban Development.

I'm going out on a limb here but I imagine this is about neither HUD or HID, but rather they are talking about the blue LED backlighting of the instrument panel. It stays on briefly after you turn off the car but will turn itself off.

I thought the OP was referring to HUD (found in Corvette ZO6 models and the Reventon). Heads-Up Display.....so I was all excited to see if someone did it.
