If you’re looking to upgrade your ride's dashboard, the Dakota Digital VHX-1022 is a solid choice that really stands out. This setup features a larger 5-1/2" speedometer with a 5" cutout, plus four smaller gauges at 3" (2-3/4" cutout). The chrome billet aluminum housings give it a sleek look that’s hard to ignore. It's not just about aesthetics, though; this gauge set is packed with features that make it a must-have for anyone who wants accurate readings and a bit of customization.

First off, let’s talk visibility. The fully lit needles and backlit faces ensure you can read everything easily, whether it’s day or night. The LCD message center is bright and clear, so you won’t miss any important info. But what really sets the VHX series apart are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors, which deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to your liking. And if you’re worried about longevity, Dakota Digital backs this with a limited lifetime warranty—pretty reassuring, right?

Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect:

• Speedometer: 0 - 160 MPH (or go metric with 0-255 km/h)
• Tachometer: 0 - 8,000 RPM
• Oil Pressure: 0 - 80 psi
• Water Temperature: 100 - 260°F (optional metric version 40 - 120°C)
• Fuel Level: E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, F
• Voltmeter: 9 - 17 VDC

That’s just the basics. You also get standard displays like an odometer that you can set once (up to a million miles!), a dual trip meter, and a 12-hour clock. If you’re into performance, the VHX-1022 has timers for 0-60 MPH, 1/4 and 1/8 mile times, and even recalls for high speeds and RPMs. It’s like having a mini race track right in your dashboard!

And let’s not forget the indicators—turn signals, high beams, check engine lights, and more. Each analog gauge has a red LED for quick alerts, which is super handy. You can also customize the colors; over 30 options let you tweak the needle, sweep, and digital display colors to match your vibe. Want a specific brightness? You can adjust that easily through the HDX setup menu, or add the DIM-1 accessory for on-the-fly control.

With 12 factory preset themes, you can create a dashboard that looks just right. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, go ahead and customize every color zone yourself. The full LED backlighting creates sharp contrast, making it easy to read everything at a glance, whether you’re cruising down the highway or parked at a show.

Just a heads up, if you order one of these, expect it to take about 12-16 weeks to arrive. But trust me, the wait is worth it for this level of customization and performance.

So, if you're ready to ditch that old, boring dashboard and step into the modern age, the VHX-1022 is waiting for you. It's not just a gauge set; it's a whole new way to connect with your vehicle.
