TR2/3/3A Switching to green LED dash panel bulbs?

[karls59tr]

I installed green led bulbs in the speedometer and rpm gauges some time ago as I find that they are less bright for night driving. I would like to do the same for the dash temp,fuel,oil pressure and voltmeter but I'm not sure of the bulb sizes? I just found out that there is a place called classiccarleds.co.uk that should have them. I checked their PDF of the various makes but oddly enough they do not have a listing for Triumph??? Anyone know the size of these bulbs? Would I be wrong in assuming they would be the same as an MGA of that era? Any thoughts?

I think for these there are no bulbs “in” the instruments but sit in between and shine through slots in the instruments
Thus I guess you’ll need an led that has a wide spread of light.
as to what type I’m afraid I don’t know.

the led supplier you have a link to is very good indeed. Email them I’m sure they have an led for the job.

they do a great flasher unit if you change to led indicators / flashers. As the original flasher Relay can’t cope with LED’s

I did contact them. Should have done that before posting here. The bulbs I need are GLB987 if anyone else is interested. They are the screw in type that fits the original bulb holder! I did not know anyone made those. Going to try them out.

I've used an outfit called. "litezupp" or some such thing. I have red and amber LEDs for running lights and turn signals, a bright white for license plate and panel lights. I never considered green IP lights, but it seems like a good idea.
