►► custom THERMAL IMAGING Night Vision install (MUST LQQK)

Bought a FLIR night vision camera for a 99-03 Cadillac Deville, install a 5" monitor above my CD player and install the camera behind the grill. Awesome thing was I didn't have to drill a hole in the grill for the lens, it just happens so that when I installed the camera lens happened to be between the two horizontal fins on the grill and it can see between them without me having to mod the grill.

Cadillac camera is pretty expensive, usually sells for $800-1200 on ebay but I found one locally for $300. Be careful when buying the camera, there are 2 versions. 2nd gen version is smaller and better. 1st gen version had a bad seal and water would get in it and it would rust out all the electronics inside (don't buy). I've had four 2nd gen version cameras and they all worked fine.

Here is a video of the camera working @: ►►► FLIR Night Vision 007licenseplate.com/nightvision/ ◄◄◄

well to get the HUD you would need to mount the LCD tv over the cash facing the windshield, so when the TV is ON the picture reflects off the windshield towards your eyes. And no you don't need a special windshield, there is a sticker/decal that you put on the windshield. All the decal does is reflects more light from the TV to your eyes while still being see through when TV is OFF. It works without the decal on the windshield too. I didn't even use a HUD i just have a TV mounted in my center console see the video at 007LICENSEPALTE.com/nightvidion/index.html
