<p>Not clear if you're using an LED for the generator function (red)
light. You're not supposed to use an LED here, but I've never
heard an explanation why (except that the bulb is part of the
generator circuit, and may provide some necessary resistance).
Anyway, I've run that way for a few hours with no issues, but I'll
be replacing with a standard incandescent bulb before I get my car
back on the road.</p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet

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? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
