If you're looking to upgrade your ride's dashboard, the Dakota Digital MHX-1024 might just be what you need. These larger instruments have a solid 5.4" overall diameter (with a 5" cutout), giving your interior that bold look. And those smaller gauges? They measure in at a neat 2.3" (2.05" cutout), striking a perfect balance between style and functionality. The chromed billet aluminum housings and bezels are a nice touch, adding a bit of flair to the whole package.

What really sets the MHX Series apart is the attention to detail. You’ve got fully lit needles and backlit faces, so no matter the time of day, you can easily read everything at a glance. Plus, the LCD message centers are super clear and provide all the info you need without any fuss. Under the hood, it’s not just about looks; these gauges are powered by micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors, ensuring you get accurate readings every time. And let’s not forget the user-customizable display feedback—you can set it up just the way you like it.

One of the best parts? Dakota Digital backs this thing up with a limited lifetime warranty. That’s a big deal in the instrumentation world, and it shows just how confident they are in their product. Everything is engineered and manufactured right in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so you know you’re getting quality craftsmanship.
