You really need to look at the www.litezupp.com =
<http://www.litezupp.com> products. =20
=20
I have their headlights, tail light, and blinker bulbs. You just pull =
out the old bulb and drop in the new ones. Really, really bright.
=20
Their headlights are drop in replacements for your existing ones. They =
are so bright I don=E2=80=99t even bother with the highs. =20
=20
They also make replacement bulbs for the interior lights. I =
didn=E2=80=99t put those in because I like the atmosphere of the old, =
dim bulbs. To me it=E2=80=99s a contradiction to the wood dash and the =
general ambience inside the cabin at night. I know, sounds silly. But =
lots of people put in the LEDs and it really litezupp the interior.
=20
If you replace the blinker bulbs you will also need a digital blinker =
switch.
=20
A nice bonus is that this stuff takes a lot less current than the =
standard bulbs so its less drain on the car=E2=80=99s electrical system.

Subject: [TR] leds for gauges and external lights TR6
=20
I have been away from the Triumphs list for awhile, so I apologize if my =
question has been discussed previously. I had my TR6 up on the Blue =
Ridge Parkway in NC yesterday (2.5 hr destination) and was stranded for =
a time at the end when the oil pressure switch failed and spewed all my =
oil away! After a tow the AAA Service Center in Asheville gave me 4 =
quarts of oil, and a service guy watched under the hood as I cranked the =
engine. He saw the problem, the engine sounded good still, and I =
replaced the switch with a bolt and made it home, much of the drive in =
the dark. By the way, great folks at AAA. They charged me nothing, even =
for the oil. That brings me to my question.
=20
I could barely see my gauges in the interstate traffic, and I feared =
that my external lights were very dim compared to the modern cars around =
me. So now I'm online ordering the oil switch and looking at LED bulb =
replacements. There are multiple bulb kits for some makes on Moss, but I =
don't see one for TR6. Have any of you found such kits and had success =
with the brightness? If not with kits, what individual bulb replacements =
are good?
=20
Thanks,
Tim
