I used Speedhut's gauges at speedhut.com.
You used to be able to customize them right on the website, looks like they want you to call now.
Anyway, I've been very happy with them.

Looking at the website it looks like theres some kinda lighting system that you plug in...is that correct.

The gauges are EL and come with their own power supply and dimmer. They are not available for automatics (for some inexplicable reason), and on my 86 there was a problem routing one set of gauge wires around the turn signal indicator light on the instrument panel.
I am pretty happy with them (I did have to modify the tach face to accommodate the gear indicator lights) - the faces are very legible and the dimmer range is very good. I am planning on replacing them, though, with another set from Speedhut. Even though the gauge needles look ok in the pic, they are way to dark in reality, and I'm going to put in a set that illuminate in reverse- the whole gauge face is illuminated so the needles should stand out. As robot808 noted, the website has changed and you can't order the way you used to, but I think a call will get me what I want.

Interestingly, those "silly cut-outs" don't bother me a bit - they look awesome and the "glow" feature makes you want to drive your car at night as much as possible. ... no, I don't work for Speedhut
