You just have to be careful that you keep the 12V side isolated completely from the 6V side.

In hindsight, I spent so much time and energy screwing around with this that I should have probably converted the car to a 12V system and been done with it.

I'm in the process of putting in 12v LED turn signals on mine using a converter to power them

Do you have a switch to cut the power to it when you aren't driving it?

12v really opens up a lot of options as far as accessories go
