Good day Anthony. I replaced the gauge lights in my AH with Halogen bulbs from the LBCCO (Little British Car Company) they can be found on the Internet. I've found the Halogen lights to be quite bright, in fact so bright you can almost read by them.

Well A7777, I wasn"t gonna say nothin about them things. However, If the problem is your "Failing Eyesight" you might want to talk to Tahoe Healey, since that type problem is out side my scope. But I do have a cigar lighter recepticle installed in my dash which allows a reading lamp with a flexible support to be plugged in and it can be trained on the dash guages in a non interfering manner so I can read them at night if required. I also use it to read maps at night too when traveling on unfamiliar roads---Keoke /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Keoke, You sure are getting a bad rap on this forum! Being a Luke Skywalker, you out to work some of your magic on these unappreciative healeyites!
May the force be with you!
