I have been away from the Triumphs list for awhile, so I apologize if my=20
question has been discussed previously. I had my TR6 up on the Blue=20
Ridge Parkway in NC yesterday (2.5 hr destination) and was stranded for=20
a time at the end when the oil pressure switch failed and spewed all my=20
oil away! After a tow the AAA Service Center in Asheville gave me 4=20
quarts of oil, and a service guy watched under the hood as I cranked the=20
engine. He saw the problem, the engine sounded good still, and I=20
replaced the switch with a bolt and made it home, much of the drive in=20
the dark. By the way, great folks at AAA. They charged me nothing, even=20
for the oil. That brings me to my question.

I could barely see my gauges in the interstate traffic, and I feared=20
that my external lights were very dim compared to the modern cars around=20
me. So now I'm online ordering the oil switch and looking at LED bulb=20
replacements. There are multiple bulb kits for some makes on Moss, but I=20
don't see one for TR6. Have any of you found such kits and had success=20
with the brightness? If not with kits, what individual bulb replacements=20
are good?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Bud,=20

e of YouTube videos on them. The channel is called DavesTR4A. There is a vid=
eo on the headlamps and the instrument lights.
