Dakota Digital HDX-40F-S 1940 Ford Car HDX Instruments, Silver

The 1940 Ford dashboard has become an icon in its own right, finding its way into many street rods over the years. This kit comes complete with a chrome plated, machined bezel and a look that can't be beat! The full-color TFT message center finds a home in an OEM-styled system that fits the stock dash opening of 1940 cars as well as 1940-47 Ford pickups.

This HLC-40F clock is the finishing touch for your HDX installation. The machined, chrome plated bezel is designed to fit a stock '40 glove box and the face styling matches the required parent system. Not a stand-alone unit, easy plug-in connectivity to the HDX control box leaves you no reason to skimp!

• Silver alloy gauge-face styling, each HDX system allows the user to select independent illumination colors for the gauge readings and needles, as well as the message centers
• Calibration and personal settings are manipulated with the built-in, capacitive-touch buttons, or the available Bluetooth app for Apple and Android devices
• Each needle hub is black nickel plated spun-aluminum to match the buttons
• All HDX instrument systems feature dead-faced indicators (turn signals, high beam, check engine, cruise control, parking brake, plus two user-definable), and a red, settable warning light for each gauge.
• With the central control box, installation is greatly simplified with vehicle-harness sourced signals and supplied, solid state sending units connecting cleanly to their respective terminal

Colors - Over 30 user-selectable color options allow you to independently change the needle color, sweep color and digital TFT display color.

Brightness - Both daytime and nighttime brightness can be easily controlled through the HDX setup menu, allowing you to choose your preferred lighting intensity level, toggled by the activation of the headlight switch. If on-the-fly rotary type control is desired, the DIM-1 is a common accessory to add this functionality.

Themes - With 12 factory preset color themes, you can quickly create a beautiful looking system. Or, for the ultimate in customization, choose all of the color zones yourself.

Technology - Full LED backlighting provides a strikingly visual gauge package, with sharp contrast for ease of viewing both night and day. Full RBG backlighting allows you to create the specific color you want, with a unique daytime and nighttime theme if desired. Whether your goal is an OE look or something truly bold, the HDX Series lets you make that choice.
