Instrument Lighting Crap

[Ronseal0105]

Iv had my 02 Tiger for 6 years now and have finally decided that its time to change the crappy instrument lights while iv got the cowling off to replace the speed sensor. It is something that has always bugged me as i cannot see speed or rev range unless it is completely dark. The question im asking is what has anyone else replaced the original bulbs with and where do you get them.

All help appreciated.

Ive just replaced all mine & they are much better the bulbs deteriorate with age they are a little fiddly to get to but nothing major the fuel,temp & speedo are ordinary car number plate light bulbs capless & the rev counter for some stupid reason is a really small triumph only bulb about £2.00 from a dealer but you may get 1 from a car spares shop but make sure its the same wattage cant remember off hand but triumph will tell you.
Its well worth doing imo.

this link is just for a looky at them, i have no idea who this seller is !!

1 tip - green lens = green LED, clear lens = white LED and so on  

KK

ps DON'T replace the headlight full beam dash bulb with an LED !!

pps the speedo bulb is a 501/T10 rev counter is 286/T5  :?

Great input Kenny; I've thought of doing this before but lost the will to live before cracking all the bulb codes.
