The VHX-63B-RIV fits directly into the stock dash, utilizing the factory gauge bezels. Some modifications to the internals of the gauge housing are required, but are thoroughly explained in the detailed installation manual.

Fitting into your existing gauge bezel, your 1963-65 Riviera never had it so good! The inside of the original gauge pods must be clearanced slightly to accommodate the new instruments, but the original gauge trim rings are reused! An analog clock is located in the center opening, with six analog instruments and dual LCD message centers taking up residence in the large openings. Stock turn signal and high beam indicators are retained, but upgraded with LED illumination!

* Requires the use of the factory gauge bezels. New bezels not included. Bezel shown in any pic is for demonstration/visual purposes only.

Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems. Completely engineered and manufactured at their facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
