LED dash
 

I was at Classic Chevrolet Parts in Oklahoma city today and they had a complete LED dash that worked with the factory bezels. They say they have only sold one and don't know how bad the install is or how accurate it is The price is 650.00 and wanted more info from someone who has used this before I buy it. Any installed pics would help.

are they the regular dakota digital ones?

Re: LED dash
 

you talkin a digital inst panel, an LCD display inst panel, or a normal one with LED lights in it?

Re: LED dash
 

The one i saw was one piece that fit in flat behind the bezels just like the factory gages but had everything in blue LED numbers and was totally computerized. Wish I had got the name of the kit.

Re: LED dash
 

that's digital with an LCD display... LED is basicly a light bulb.
It sounds like you are talking about the dakota digital stuff, they've been around for at least 15 years or so.

Ya thats it just needing to know if it works well and lasts very long. Is this a pain in the a$$ to install.

With that said, i will never ever own another vehicle with digital guages. I had one, and when they died, they were EXPENSIVE to replace. (never happened)
The shop i work at has had quite a few come in with messed up digital inst. clusters.. everything from chevy, to ford, to Mack.... they are all stupid expensive to repair.
Also, the human mind doesn't react to them nearly as fast as with annalog guages.


Those are the simple facts. Personally, my OPINION... they'll give anything a cheesey early 80's look.


What's everyone else's opinion?

Andy,
I say To each his own,
However I would have to agree with you on this one. I prefer non digital guages.
