The Dakota Digital VHX-73C-K-W updates your vehicle's interior with modern looking gauages. These gauges are super easy to install and mount to your original or factory dash bezel (not included). These gauges come with black alloy dials and white LED illumination which allows them to look great in virtually any interior, regardless of the color. The VHX-73C-S-W uses the latest technology and still allows you to keep the stock-location turn signals and you can still retain the stock gear position indicator.

The Dakota Digital VHX series gauges feature fully lit needles featuring white LEDs and backlit, black alloy gauge faces. In addition, there are two highly visible MCD message center on both the speedometer and the tachometer.

Modern Technology with Lifetime Warranty

What separates the Dakota Digital gauges from your original gauges and other options is the "guts" behind the scenes. The VHX-73C-PU-S-W uses micro-controller precision stepper motors, solid state sensor for unprecedented accuracy, and customizable display information. All of that tech is backed by Dakota Digital's lifetime limited warranty.

Quality Craftsmanship Assembled in the USA

The Dakota Digital VHX gauge systems are engineered and manufactured at their facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Calibration

Dakota Digital instruments are programmed and operated by the push of a button. Simply mount the included pushbuttons supplied with your gauges in a convenient and easily accessible location. These buttons are used to calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count and the fuel level gauge. Once properly configured these same buttons are used to access the wealth of information located in the Digital Message Centers.

Other Things You May Need

Although Dakota Digital instrument systems are programmable for both day and night intensity levels, the DIM-1 will allow rotary, or on-the-fly brightness adjustment added convenience.

SEN-06-1 - Fuel Level Sensor
