Default night vision

such as http://www.h2source.com/201-145-1.htm

has anybody tried such an item in their truck? If you have, what brand/type did you use?

There are some threads on the forum about this, but I didn't find alot of commentary about specific systems.

Ive been looking for better photos...all I can find are pics that look like someone photographed them with a 1999 camera phone and then badly jpeg`d them.


Anyone got this installed? Id really like to see clear pics of how it looks folded down on the dash as well as it working.

???

Cheers for that - but to ensure I am a complete pain in the arse does anyone have any close ups of the heads up unit itself?

These promo shots dont really show much...

i wonder if this is like a strut grille? ultimately you'd do it to say you did? and that's the reward of doing it? i don't mean to be pessimistic about the product, and i'm not, i'm p'raps just a tad skeptical. the screen looks awfully small.

but you never know until you know.

I have installed "night driver" in serval H2's and an H1. The H1 setup is pretty ugly with the sensor being mounted to the pillar post in front of the driver. The H2 is a very "in conito" mount. The actual collector mounts in the cutout of the front bumper wing on the drivers side. They also send install a "dummy" on the passenger side to balance the look. The monitor is mounted on the dash, centered on the steering wheel. It comes with a mounting piece that replaces the dashboard in front of the steering wheel. The screen folds flat when not in use and is almost unnoticeable. A button releases the lock and you adjust the screen sort of forward and back to give your height the best view of it.
It can be used in absolute blackness and you will be able to see clear as day. The system also filters out light so that when you have cars coming towards you with their lights on, it filters out the light and you can see their grill, hood ornaments and everything else. It will increase the distance you are able to see things at night about 5 times.
If you have ever seen Cops when they are using the FLIR system (forward looking infared) it looks like that on the screen. Black and white and you are easily able to "see" in the dark.

I have one being installed in the next week or so, waiting on the parts, I will get some pictures (close) when we are done. If I can figure out how to post them I will. If not I can email them if you want.

I think its a usefull system - just wanting to see the box in place with screen down and up to get a real idea of what it`ll do to the look of the dash....
