Dakota Digital gauges

I realize they are $600 for my truck - my question is for those who have them or had them in the past.

Are their products any good? Did you experience any issues with functionality or fitment? They claim to be a direct fit with the factory bezel. Did you get blue or teal? How was the visibility?

On a scale of 1 to 5 how would you rate them based on your experience?

Thanks.

I will let you know what I think after my truck gets back from being painted and I get them installed.

And yes, please do post an update on what you think of your Dakota gauges.

Thanks.

I have them in my Bronco and they work great, no problems so far. I'd rate them at a 5 all the way around, fit, functionality and looks.

Nothing special, I used the OE wiring harness and spliced it behind the gauge panel. I eliminated the OE plug for the factory cluster pack.
