1971 - 76 Chevy Impala / Caprice VHX Instruments
from Dakota Digital
VHX-71C-CAP
The new VHX Systems fit directly into the stock instrument bezel of a 1971- 76 Chevy Caprice or Impala without modification, adding a wealth of features to this iconic vehicle.
This system requires the use of the stock clear lens to cover it (in addition to the integrated lens). Stock lens is NOT included with this system. Due to the GM dash design, there is no good way to remove the stock lens.
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!
