[TR] leds for gauges and external lights TR6

I have been away from the Triumphs list for awhile, so I apologize if my 
question has been discussed previously. I had my TR6 up on the Blue 
Ridge Parkway in NC yesterday (2.5 hr destination) and was stranded for 
a time at the end when the oil pressure switch failed and spewed all my 
oil away! After a tow the AAA Service Center in Asheville gave me 4 
quarts of oil, and a service guy watched under the hood as I cranked the 
engine. He saw the problem, the engine sounded good still, and I 
replaced the switch with a bolt and made it home, much of the drive in 
the dark. By the way, great folks at AAA. They charged me nothing, even 
for the oil. That brings me to my question.

I could barely see my gauges in the interstate traffic, and I feared 
that my external lights were very dim compared to the modern cars around 
me. So now I'm online ordering the oil switch and looking at LED bulb 
replacements. There are multiple bulb kits for some makes on Moss, but I 
don't see one for TR6. Have any of you found such kits and had success 
with the brightness? If not with kits, what individual bulb replacements 
are good?

Thanks,
Tim
