Scott,

One of my objectives while attending OSH'2000 was to purchase instrument
lighting for 5 on my un-lit instruments on my panel.  I also did not want to
use post lights.  I ended up buying the UMA Instruments' bulbless lifetime
electroluminescense light bezels
(http://home.rica.net/uma/aircraft/lightbez.htm) for $33@.  You'll need a
DC-AC inverter for an additional $35(good for 6 instruments).  This product
lights up the entire instrument  360 degrees.  Comes in three lighting
colors, Green, Red, & White(actually illuminates as a cool blue-ish color,
this is the one I bought). I also looked at the NULITE products but was not
impressed.  I am also going to purchase a glareshield lighting strip from
Aeroenhancements (http://www.orbitwebs.com/aeroenhancements/glareshield.htm)
for back up lighting and also to provide some lighting to my switches on the
panel.  I held off buying this at OSH since I did not know the exact length I
needed (they can custom cut the strip for you).

Hope this helps.
