Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-84B-REG-S is a direct-fit instrument system upgrade for 1978-87 Buick Regal, Grand National, and T-Type models, featuring a silver alloy gauge-face finish. Six analog instruments surround a full-color TFT message center display that can be configured to show the information you need, including boost, transmission temperature, fuel pressure, and more at a glance. The system fits into the stock cluster and housing, providing a seamless factory-style installation with modern digital capability.
Independent illumination colors can be selected for the gauge readings, needles, and message centers, with over 30 user-selectable LED lighting colors to suit any paint and interior combination. Calibration and personal settings are 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.
With the included central control box, installation is simplified through vehicle-harness sourced signals and supplied solid-state sending units that connect cleanly to their respective terminals. All HDX instrument systems feature dead-faced indicators and a red, settable warning light for each gauge.
