The flames and other designs for the gauges are overlays that you can buy from most any accessory store like Stylin' Trucks or even Summit. For the Escalade cluster, options are extremely limited. I honestly don't know that I've ever seen any overlays for the 120mph Escalade clusters.

For the LEDs, you'll go somewhere like www.SuperBrightLEDs.com or www.V-LEDs.com and pick from the variety of styles and colors available. You just pull out the twist-locks on the back of the gauge cluster, remove the stock 194 bulbs and replace them with the LEDs. The main cluster lighting takes 6 bulbs.

I have LEDs all over the place in my vehicles and use Super Bright for my LED needs. Here's my Suburban with blue LEDs:

I had an Escalade cluster in a '99 Yukon that I used to own. When the Yukon went with the ex-wife, I kept the cluster, but then sold it, not knowing I would again have another '96-'98. If I get some extra money, I do plan to try and pick up another Escalade cluster for the Suburban.

This was my Escalade cluster with blue LEDs:

(Older picture taken with a much lesser camera, me with less experience behind the lens and LEDs that didn't light up as evenly.)

The Yukon was "her" vehicle anyhow. I liked it, but it had some maintenance issues coming up that I didn't want to have to deal with. My driver at the time was an '00 Impala. At 700 miles of driving a week for my job, 28 mpg from the Impala was a lot more affordable than 17 mpg from the Yukon. Besides, she didn't get MY truck. She would have been in a world of .... if she even thought about that move. My '91 is a part of me and will be with me till the day I die. Then they'll have to bury me in it.
