Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-59C-IMP-S HDX System brings modern electronic instrumentation to your 1959-60 Chevy Impala with a silver alloy gauge face, designed to install directly into the factory stock housing. This package delivers six analog sweep readouts along with a large, full-color TFT message center, giving your classic Impala a thoroughly modern dash without altering its original appearance.
The HDX system allows independent illumination color selection for gauge readings, needles, and the message center, with calibration and personal settings managed through built-in capacitive-touch buttons or the available Bluetooth app for Apple and Android devices. Each needle hub is black nickel plated spun-aluminum to match the control buttons. A central control box simplifies installation by sourcing signals from the vehicle harness and connecting supplied solid-state sending units cleanly to their respective terminals.
Note: This system uses an OEM or reproduction style bezel; a bezel is not included with this kit.
