does anyone have these in there corsa and what are they like to fit? i first thought about fitting them because they looking nice but am thinking about getting an xe conversion so would be handy to keep an eye on whats happening under the bonnet. also do these illuminate at night when your lights are on or do they stay dark?

If you have one of the corsa direct fit pods then they are straight forward to fit, and yes most gauges have illumination. I have a twin gauge pod in my corsa with F&F gauges which have 7 colour LED's in.

they illuminate with the sidelights (as i have wired the illumination into the sidelights)
There will be 5 wires on the water temp and 4 on the volt meter,
the 4 generic ones are:
Perm Live
Switch Live
Earth
Sidelight Live
and the 5th one for the water temp will be signal from the sender

ACC on is ignition live, the green signal wire in the case of your water guage will goto the water temp sender under the bonnet in the inlet manifold. signal wire on the volt gauge is not needed.
white night lamp will be a sidelight live
