    VZ SSZ/VZ HSV.

    ebay is your best bet. get the black monaro ones to match the instrument cluster. they light up white the same as the speedo etc. ive got them fitted to mine.

    Prices usually range between $200-$500 for the entire kit.

    you need to modify it to fit or get the monaro facia which has the proper holes for it to clip in.

    Lol. yeah its that... but it's also the front of the aircon system (the black plastic crap) and the surrounding frame (which is the gloss black part in the VZ Calais')... but it will be a HEAP cheaper to just modify the existing facia to fit the gauges. The facia alone is pretty expensive. Then the gauges seem to be ridiculously priced, and then you will need to pay someone to get them working. It's not cheap, but they do look pretty!

    Done this mod pretty awesome looking i goto say interior is now basically a VZ monaro haha. Cost me bouts 120 to get it wired up only. I just took the compartment out used abit of foam n double sided tape and does the job. Hardly rattles n look pretty good although i can do better...
