1978 - 82 Chevy Corvette VHX Instruments


from Dakota Digital

VHX-78C-VET



The new VHX Systems fit directly into the stock instrument dash of a 1978-82 Chevy Corvette without modification, adding a wealth of features to this iconic vehicle.

Speedometer and Tachometer gauge housing has been completely replicated in billet aluminum, powdercoated in a flat black to keep the original theme.

Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Voltmeter, Fuel Level and an additional LCD Message Center attach directly to the back side of the stock center console bezel.

This system includes a black powdercoated machined aluminum gauge housing/bezel to hold the speedometer and tachometer in the dash, as well an assembly which attaches directly to the backside of the stock center console. This assembly contains the Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Voltmeter, Fuel Level and a third LCD Message Center.  

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 Dakota Digital's facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
