Hope someone can explain this:  Installed TR3 tach and speedo in my TR2.  The speedo lights up just fine, but the tach does not “light up”, even with a flashlight shinning down the socket.  Lights are working.  The old TR2 tach does “light up” when checked. Wanted to bounce it off The List before I go further.

Should illuminate just like your old one.  Assuming the bulb is good and bright, check for light blockage in the bulb mounting.  As always, make sure you have a good ground.

John-  

Since the tachometer has a socket and you checked it with a light my guess the socket is blocked somehow or the inside of the case is no longer white to help reflect the light.  Might be time to carefully disassemble.

Do I remember correctly that there is a clear plastic strip between the bulb and the dial?  ISTR mine was so yellowed, light to the dial was at Lucas max (dim).
