My name is Jan van Berkel and I am the proud owner of a finally fully restored royal blue TR 250 "68. I live in the Northern part of Holland and found the site by internet search. I was looking how to improve dash gauge's lighting.

Welcome, Jan! You have a wonderful car, and I'm sure you'll receive the help you need here. Post your questions in the Triumph sections, and be sure to provide pictures.

cheers
Mickey

After you get that "MGB-GT".... you will need a
classic Healey, Then of course it is on to a
Bigger Garage to store all these fine cars. LOL

Hi Jan,

"Welcome" to "THEE" best Brit Car Forum on the planet.

It sure does sound like to you have yourself a sweet "TR250". As mentioned previously; Introduce Yourself & your "New/Old" toy to the nice folks on the "Triumph Forum" & "PLEASE" do place some pics.

"WE ALL LOVE PICS"!!!!!!!!!

Regards, Russ

Welcome!

I have seen brighter, replacement "LED" dash light bulbs for British cars (I've considered them for my street MGB).

I can't recall where I saw them, but I am sure they are available.

Welcome Jan.

You might find:

a useful discussion of dash light improvments.
