Many thanks to Dave, Dave Connitt, Bud, and Roger Elliott for the=20
discussion on LiteZupp products. I just placed an order for their TR6=20
interior bulb kit. With all the different instrument and dash lights=20
covered in the kit, the price per bulb is very reasonable, not to=20
mention the fact that the kit meant that I didn't have to enumerate them=20
myself. I am going to check out the external LED replacements for 1156=20
and 1157 bulbs individually to see about the possible directionality=20
issue.
My next night drive should be much more satisfactory!
Tim
