Gauge faces such as speed-glo or similar products? Reliability, installation complexity and such? Who else makes them?

I had some "glow gauges" in an 02 Sierra several years back. Looked cool when they worked but I had to take the truck in several times to get them worked on. Not sure if it was the installer or not but at one point they had to order in a completely new cluster because the original was "defective". I liked the look but there was considerable hassle involved.

I had a set of US Speedo gauge overlays on my TBSS. They looked great during the day and were very easy to read at night. They weren't "glow" gauges though, just an overlay, you pulled the stock gauge overlay off and put the new one in it's place.
I had a set of "glow" gauges in my Integra, and they were crap. They looked ok during the day, but at night they looked like crap and were hard to read.
If I were to suggest something, I would do the US Speedo gauges again, they are a pit pricey, but well worth the money. I don't have them in the Denali, because they don't make a set for the 99 Denali/Escalade cluster.
ETA - If you want pics of the TBSS gauges, I still have some, I don't have anything for the Integra though.

Thanks guys I was looking for the electroluminescent gauge look but color contrasting plays a big roll in the decision as well as reliability. The two option for the US Speedo but did not seem to fit in with the look I wanted. I will keep looking for now and stick with the led lights. Plenty of other lighting/electrical mods to do. Up next is converting the head lights system with new lenses and ddm hid kit(just left customs at sfo), Install the led tail assembly after I fix a door catch and converting the DRL to use Led bars and the headlight system becomes stand-a-lone.
