Stan:
I would add one observation. When I relamped my instruments the
brightness definitely took a step up, just by virtue of changing out all
my 30 year old bulbs for new ones.
If one is frustrated with the low brightness, I would urge them
to replace all the lamps, and see if the brightness doesn't at least
become acceptable. I still run my dash at or near full brightness, but I
can clearly see the instruments now.
I would also add that as I have aged, I need more light to see
everything, not just my TR6 instruments. At least part of the griping on
the list about dash lights is driven by the <ahem> 'seniority' of the
average owner. All IMHO of course.

Subject: RE: Dash Lights
John, these show up on ebay regularly but to be honest they were useless
even when working as we all generally keep them on the brightest
possible setting (ie dim) and the circuit board just burns out at that
location making it either not work at all or only on/off if you were
lucky enough to have the thing slightly rotated when it was first set 30
years ago.. I would check the wiring to make sure it is not some other
problem and test by connecting the wires together. You can just leave it
that way in fact and not replace it and go from dim to slightly less
dim.
