I am going to disagree. I think the only way you are not going to see the HUD is if your eyes are closed or you have mud packed in between the HUD and the mask. If you still are running your light in a silt out, I could see that amount of light might make it hard to read. Reducing the amount of light should make the HUD more readable.
Just like when I got trapped inside a collapsing big shipwreck in 65 meters of dark water. I cupped my light and spotted just enough day light to find my way out. My line was buried under a meter of wood and boards. I could not see in the silt out with the light.
Bottom line, only breathe what you can trust.

The diver had a Shearwater HUD on the unit but was in zero viz, as zero viz drill. From experience I can say there are circumstances I doubt you could see any HUD in real zero viz silt out.
The only HUD that could deal with that ( as far as I know but please correct me if wrong ) would be the DIVA from the Optima - Hammerhead electronics as it does vibrate when goint off range hyper or hypo.
