The Fox-body Mustang is an affordable platform to build just about any type of performance machine your heart desires, though the stock gauge arrangement leaves something to be desired. This drop-in package utilizes the stock gauge bezel and brings your 1979-’86 Mustang up to date with fully electronic instruments, red, blue or white LED backlighting and nearly unlimited expansion. Available with Silver or Black Alloy or Carbon Fiber faces, you can keep tabs on the powerhouse under the hood without hanging A-pillar gauges like Christmas lights.
Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems . Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
Requires original front bezel. Bezel not included.
