Doesn't that really depend on the gauge that your installing? Oil pressure, fuel pressure, volt, ect...

If you're talking about the existing gauges in your vehicle, then electrical.
If you're talking about the gauges that you bought, well, you you will know

What type of gauges do you have? water, oil...

If there only wire connections on the back then you have electrical, if there is a hose connection (where fluid can flow into the gauge) you have mechanical.
