You really need to look at the www.litezupp.com products.  

  

I have their headlights, tail light, and blinker bulbs.  You just pull out the old bulb and drop in the new ones.  Really, really bright.

  

Their headlights are drop in replacements for your existing ones.  They are so bright I don’t even bother with the highs.  

  

They also make replacement bulbs for the interior lights.  I didn’t put those in because I like the atmosphere of the old, dim bulbs.  To me it’s a contradiction to the wood dash and the general ambience inside the cabin at night.  I know, sounds silly.  But lots of people put in the LEDs and it really litezupp the interior.

  

If you replace the blinker bulbs you will also need a digital blinker switch.

  

A nice bonus is that this stuff takes a lot less current than the standard bulbs so its less drain on the car’s electrical system.

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
