You really need to look at the www.litezupp.com products.=C2=A0=20

I have their headlights, tail light, and blinker bulbs.=C2=A0 You just pull=

If you replace the blinker bulbs you will also need a digital blinker switc=

A nice bonus is that this stuff takes a lot less current than the standard =

 =C2=A0

I have been away from the Triumphs list for awhile, so I apologize if my qu=
estion has been discussed previously. I had my TR6 up on the Blue Ridge Par=
kway in NC yesterday (2.5 hr destination) and was stranded for a time at th=
e 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 s=
ervice guy watched under the hood as I cranked the engine. He saw the probl=
em, the engine sounded good still, and I replaced the switch with a bolt an=
d made it home, much of the drive in the dark. By the way, great folks at A=
AA. They charged me nothing, even for the oil. That brings me to my questio=
n.

 =C2=A0

I could barely see my gauges in the interstate traffic, and I feared that m=
y external lights were very dim compared to the modern cars around me. So n=
ow 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 f=
or TR6. Have any of you found such kits and had success with the brightness=
? If not with kits, what individual bulb replacements are good?

 =C2=A0

Thanks,

Tim
