Regarding gauges lights being dim - have you checked the dash light
dimmer switch? That was my problem years ago. I twisted it back and
forth a bunch of times and that fixed it. It is a rotary rheostat and
you may have some corrosion adding resistance.

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.

<div>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?</div>
