501's i believe Zig, i changed mine out for the LED style replacements and they're still crap, illumination is so poor i've no idea how fast i'm going on a night but i did fit a shift light so i know when to change gear laugh
smile Thanks...I did think about led but if that was the conclusion then stuff that..Its funny my speedo is the only one you can't see at night..It earned me a speeding ticket a couple of years ago...whistle

Yep, 501's. I bought some of these last year and to be honest made a noticeable difference to the tacho and speedo lighting. They are not perfect but I can now see them at night whereas previously I couldn't see a bloody thing.

A few years ago I replaced all my bulbs but cleaned all the connections and earths as well and although they are not great they are clearly visible at night. Speedo was always and still is dimmer than the rest dont know why.

The main problem with my car is that the hand on the dial isn't illuminated. I can see the numbers, but not the little stick frown
