Hey guys,

Anyone running the Dakota Digital red carbon fibre VHX gauges yet? I am looking for pics of them installed.

Re: red carbon fibre vhx gauges

Well for all the canadians on the board just a heads up. I spoke with Dakota Digital and they do not have any plans to make the background gauge faces in KPH. The digital display will do KPH but the faces will remain in MPH.

I think theses gauges are sweet and fit the needs of anyone doing a LS swap but how hard is it to print a KPH gauge face?

Re: red carbon fibre vhx gauges

it was my first set I've installed. The only item I saw to pay attention too was the Brake Indicator. the VHX apparently has power. so I did not wire power to it. I used the BIM01 for conversion of the GMLAN for most of the stuff. Just left, 2 power, one hot one ignition, turn signals, Brake light, Mil, High beam, and the Oil Pressure. went real well.
