If you're looking to upgrade your Mustang's instrument panel, let me tell you about the MHX Series from Dakota Digital. This isn't just another set of gauges; it's a complete overhaul that brings a modern touch to your classic ride. Whether you’re tearing up the track or just cruising around town, this bolt-in system has got your back.

First off, the lighting options are pretty slick. You can choose from red, blue, or white illumination, and the gauge faces come in either a sharp Silver or a sleek Black Alloy, or even a Carbon Fiber style if you want that extra edge. It’s all about that personal touch, right? You get six analog gauges that cover everything from your speed to oil pressure, and they all light up beautifully, making it easy to read at a glance, day or night.

Now, let’s talk about what really sets this system apart. The MHX Series features fully lit needles and backlit faces, which means you can actually see what you need to when you're pushing your car to the limit. The LCD message centers are highly visible too, showing you everything from your trip meter to performance stats. And inside, you’ve got some serious tech going on—micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that give you accuracy you can trust. Plus, if you happen to run into any issues, Dakota Digital backs this up with a lifetime warranty. That’s not something you see every day.

Installation is straightforward, but keep in mind that you’ll need your original front bezel to make this work. And it’s engineered right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is a nice touch if you’re into supporting local craftsmanship.

With built-in indicators for things like turn signals and check engine lights, you won’t miss a beat. And if you need to add more indicators, you can repurpose some of the unused ones to fit your needs. It’s all about making it work for you.

Included in the kit are sensors for oil pressure and water temperature, along with a cable-driven speed sensor that fits right in. You’ll also get a set of bushings to make installation a breeze. The control box is compact too, measuring just 5.5” x 3.5” x 1”, so it won’t take up much space.

Calibration is a cinch with the included pushbuttons; just mount them where you can easily reach them. They let you set everything from the speedometer to the fuel gauge, and once you’re set up, you can dive into all the info the message centers provide.

If you’ve got a Ford Mustang from 1987 to 1989, this is the instrument system you’ve been waiting for. The MHX-87F-MUS-K-B is not just an upgrade; it’s a game changer for how you interact with your car. Give your Mustang the instrumentation it deserves!
