I just placed an order for their TR6 interior bulb kit. With all the different instrument and dash lights covered in the kit, the price per bulb is very reasonable, not to mention the fact that the kit meant that I didn't have to enumerate them myself. I am going to check out the external LED replacements for 1156 and 1157 bulbs individually to see about the possible directionality issue.</div><div><br /></div><div>My next night drive should be much more satisfactory!</div><div><br /></div><div>Tim </div>

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.<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"><o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">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?<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"><o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Thanks,<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Tim<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"><o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"> </o:p></span></p></div></div></blockquote></div>
