I have a 1975 TR6, and I want the oil pressure light to
illuminate...all I can get is a dull glow....I assume it is meant to be this
way, but I can't see any way for the oil pressure lamp to get a full 12V,
and I see no indication that a
6V lamp should be installed in place of the normal lamps.
What were they thinking when they designed it this way? Is there
something that I'm missing?

It WAS intentional, in that Triumph simply provided a "cheap and cheerful"
way to offer a bulb-check upon startup. I don't know about the voltages at each
lamp, but what you describe is pretty much exactly how Triumph said it was
supposed to work on the Mk3 Spitfire (only factory workshop manual I have at
hand at the moment).
