Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-68D-CHG-K is a direct-fit HDX instrument system designed for the 1968-70 Dodge Charger with rallye dash, as well as fitting the '68-70 Super Bee, Coronet R/T and the 1970 Plymouth GTX and Road Runner. This system features black face gauge styling and is built on a billet aluminum housing that accommodates the vehicle's original switches and front bezel for a true bolt-in upgrade.
The HDX system allows independent selection of illumination colors for gauge readings, needles, and message centers, with calibration and settings controlled 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.
All HDX instrument systems feature dead-faced indicators, including turn signals, high beam, check engine, cruise control, parking brake, and two user-definable indicators, along with a red, settable warning light for each gauge.
