No, it's a pleasant green. Much dimmer in the pic than IRL as I put two pieces of translucent dark plastic on it

Most responsive for best price on the market. Gets real bright at night so I bough some gray plastic sheets that theatre guys like EW put over the theater spotlights, then cut multiple pieces to fit over the LED display.

I honestly dont know how I drove a car without one of these.

Video will be difficult as car is in garage up on the quickjack for some work.. but I'd be happy to walk you though some things. Two additional items you should buy if you intend to hardwire the device is a a fuse tap, and this: (couldn't figure out the link, paste name into amazon) Pruveeo Hard Wire Kit for Dash Cam, Mini USB Port, 12V to 5V, DC 12V - 30V Car Charger Cable Kit, or something similar to it. If you don't step down the voltage from the fusebox to the HUD, it'll burn it out. I just measured out an acceptable length of wiring from the hardwire kit, snipped it, and spliced.

Let me know if you have questions.

It says for dash cam, but it's bare wire to mini USB.

Glad you like it! I've tried out several and this one is the most responsive and uncluttered.

No just some non-resonated test pipes. Makes sense they wouldn't take as long.
