I understand that resistors don't allow for changes in the gauges' amperage load.
I have heard of using transistorized voltage regulators like those at Radio Shack. I've got schematics for using a V-R on a heat sink with capacitor buffered input and output, a resistor for regulating it at low load, and a transistor for beefing it up. I'm not sure how many regulators the gauge set needs. Anybody have any experience with these?
Never start vast projects with half vast ideas.
