Default 1989 Jaguar XJS V12

Can someone please help me with where to find brighter replacement bulbs for the dash area for my 1989 XJSV12
The bulbs in the dash area are so dull, they are almost non existent!
Not sure how many are in the dash, and need a link to where to purchase brighter bulbs. Thanks, Catherine

Catherine, your car is British. The thinking at Jaguar in the pre 2000 era was that your eyes should be on the road, not on the gauges. The gauge illumination is controlled by the rheostat on the dash (you have tried to adjust that, yes?); the rheostat covers the full range from barely visible to zero illumination. Perfectly normal. ☺️
