Wow, those look great! I wonder if Dakota would retro-fit the black backing and red needle colors on one of the gray with blue needle units shipped out last year?

Love my gauges but those would make them look even sweeter.

What's your question? You want a set with the silver/gray background and blue lighting?

No, I already have a set with the gray background, blue needles and lights that I purchased last year...

I really like the black background, white lights and red needles they are coming out with now though...would consider changing to them if not too cost prohibitive.

looks sharp.
question
do yall do any custom work on gauges? or know anyone?
a 1970 Superbee project.
I want to stay with the stock dash, but upgrade the gauges to a more modern type, but still have a nostalgic look.
specifically.....the tictoctach. I want it to match the appearance of the other gauges.
Perhaps a vhx/analog (?) speedo, but I'd like to have the hidden radar detector warning lights installed in the face of the speedo.

are things like that possible?

I've been looking for an aftermarket clock in rally dash size unsuccessfully for a while now to do similar to what our talking

I'd like to see a pic of these for a Monte. Does anyone know if these gauges will work with the LS oil pressure & water temp sensor output? Currently I have 2 of each.

They come with new OP and WT sensors that you put in place of the existing sensors (with several adapters to let them fit into different bungs). The included wire harnesses have plugs that work with the sensors as well. Those and the VSS harness were the only new wires to sensors that are needed to make everything on the new gauges functional. I pulled everything else from the 16 pin dash connector from the existing factory dash harness.

With an LS motor you can use the obdII bin module and gauge function runs off the ecm. No extra senders needed other than fuel.
