Although everyone says bulbs etc will burn out faster, anyone who has actually done it says it was never a problem.Some vendors even rate their bulbs 6 or 8 Volt
Oh well life is good if that is all I have to worry about.

You can buy a 6 volt positive ground alternator if that is what you are concerned about. If you change polarity you need to reverse the connection to the ammeter and the coil but unless you have some very high tech switches there should be no problem with any of the switches, they just interrupt the flow of the current.
