[Healeys] LED dash lights

[David Nock]

I would assume that it is not all the bulbs with the same fault. I would look at the dash light switch under the dash. Try bypassing the switch and see if the problem goes away.

LED lights are very sensitive to heat and also high variances in voltage.   

You may want to check your operating range of voltage, it may be too harmful for the LED lights you've installed.  

Also maybe they're made in China.  

Probably the last point is the real problem.

  I bought a set of LED dash lights from British Car Specialists last year and they worked great until recently when I noticed they started to flicker.  This has gotten worse until yesterday morning the speedo light never came on and the tach was dark for a while before beginning to flicker.  All 4 gauges are exhibiting the same symptoms, but the generator light, high beam indicator and trafficator indicator function normally.  All LED bulbs are tight in their mountings; I can rule out intermittent contact.  I’ve not swapped the incandescent bulbs back in yet for a test, BTW.  Any thoughts on the cause?
