Buy one of these invertors and then get normal 12 volt guages. Replace the guage lighting with 6 volt bulbs. This invertor can be found at www.jcwhitney.com Type number zx813905r in the search box on JCWhitney's site.

The $69.99 one has an output of 1.5 amps. I don't know what kind of guages you are looking at, but any type of guage doesn't draw much. So you could put a lot of them on there. They have a more expensive unit with a higher output, but I don't think you are going to need it with just gauges. The illumintation lighting in the gauges will draw a lot more than the guage will. But you can hopefully change the bulbs to 6v and run them directly.
