All of the factory lights will be eliminated. The led lights are already built into the gauge cluster.

I forgot about that. Well, there's courtesy lighting, dome light, map light, etc.

Those came with the Vintage Air kit. There’s adapter covers that fit over the factory vents that the hoses attach to.

That does not compute with my analog brain matter.

Some dashboard progress today. With the Dakota dash, some of these wires will be eliminated.

I'm definitely interested in how that goes. Going all original for my current build, but maybe there's a ReatoMod in my future

Keep going! Can't wait to see it in person at a show someday!

I installed Dakota Digital gauges in my El Camino. It was challenging dealing with all the wiring and control modules but I think anyone with patience and lots of time can git er done.

I installed Dakira Digital gauges in my El Camino. It was challenging dealing with all the wiring and control modules but I think anyone with patience and lots of time can git er done.

We just installed a DD dash in an 88 fox vert for the original owner of the car. It was a lot of wiring, but it looks incredible. And everything is accurate and works.

Installed the dashboard today. I’m going to work on finishing the wiring to get it running before tackling the Dakota gauge wiring.
