Very happy with dash gauges, wiring and instructions were great
Very impressed, excellent workmanship.
Great retro upgrade on my VH. Those SAAS gauges look awesome and don't look out of place on an old 80s car. I can now actually see my gauges at night! I've got an EFI 5L in my car, so great to have features like the electronic speedo, check engine light and fan light. BIG upgrade over the factory cluster.
Professionally packaged, didn't expect the very comprehensive, well presented, detailed instruction book, including wiring schematics etc
Only minor issue I had, was the 'check engine' light was wired to battery power. If you have a Holden EFI/Delco system, the light comes on when the ignition is switched off. So I had to make a minor mod to the wiring on the back of the unit, so that it was powered by the ignition instead. Fairly simple fix.
Although I'm capable of wiring up my own connectors, I'd definitely recommend ordering the optional pre-wired Deutsch connectors. It saved me doing the unenjoyable task.
A great product that has been missing from the early Commodore aftermarket.
With a little bit of wiring knowledge, it is easy to install and setup yourself
The lighting features and programmable functions are the perfect upgrade from the factory Dash cluster and give modern features with an original look.
Would happily buy another setup if I were to restore another early Commodore in the future!
