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

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:
