I would recommend Isspro myself, best gauges on the market.

When you say light up, I am not sure what you mean?

As for what gauges to get, that depends on what your plans are and what type of tranny you have...

They are cheap looking, but function fine. I've had many gauges from many different companies and I decided to go cheap with my 7.3 and buy some glowshift gauges. I have their 3-1 gauge combo mounted on my steering column because I was not interested in having 3 on the pillar in this vehicle.

I can say they haven't failed me in a year. They're electronic sensors (temp, boost, and egt) and were easy to install. The boost gauge when compared to an Autometer boost gauge sensing from the same location in the intake read exactly the same. The tinted gauges are a pain to see in the bright light, so avoid them. On the flip side, do hook up the dimmer wire as they are too bright in the evening without it.

Although I see them trashed on forums all the time, I can say besides the looks they function just fine for me. I have two friends also running their gauges for years and they've never had an issue. One on a 7.3 and the other on a turbo ranger. They're inexpensive, function fine, are not the best looking gauges on the market, but I can't complain as they work for my needs.
