Yes, it is a Heads Up Display. Got it from Kogan. They have two models - a GPS one like that and an OBD II port one.

https://www.kogan.com/au/shop/?keywords=hud

The OBD II port one is useless really because the distance output from the port is erratic at best and non-existent most of the time.

The GPS one locks on to satellites quickly and gives a speed reading and, in my case, an altitude one plus the distance traveled. It can also display time and Voltage.

A little bit of faffing about is required to get the display to reflect off the clear plastic rectangle where you want it, but it is easy enough to do.

You can reflect off the windscreen, but most windscreens will give you a double image.

It can be hard to read in bright sunlight.

Cheers
Numb Thumbs

oh it wasn't a dig at you numb . I just cant see where the marketing hype of the kings illuminators are on a par with higher end lights . My old gensis hid's and 20" lightbar gave a much better spread of light . Still waiting for my lightforce htx230's to land so i can wire them up

Personally, I don't believe ANY marketing...

PS I'll try to get some better images with a decent camera to better show the lights in action. The local footy/cricket ground is quite useful.
