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.
