Re: 6 Volts versus 12
Other things being equal, the headlights will not be brighter. Equivalent headlight bulbs produce the same candlepower or lumens. 6 volt bulbs pull twice the current at half the voltage to do the same work as equal-rated 12 volt bulbs.
I converted my car to 12v many years ago, when it was "the thing" to do. If I were putting it together now, I wouldn't convert as there are solutions for all the extra things I have such as, like you, phone and gps.
Seems like most people convert to cure symptoms caused by poor grounds. It's easier to fix the grounds than to convert.
