They are electrical and the 3-gauge "cluster" is easy to remove, but it may not be so easy to replace them since they are all inside a single housing.
You'll have to make your own mounts to hold each individual gauge behind the dash or you'll have to gut the stock cluster and modify it to hold your new gauges.
Here's a pic of the housing removed from the dash:

The exterior of the car is Red so I thought it would break up the interior a little..I didnt use my stock housing like most due..I wanted to bring mine out more flush with the dash as pictured above..Although I also made a custom bracket that holds the gauges in place,,the Red rings also keep the gauges very snug...
