Not sure the exact voltage but most LEDs operate at only 5V from memory so they would work fine, you couldn't use the off the shelf conversion ones tho as they normally have a built in resistor to drop the voltage down to the correct level and this would be too low with a 6V supply.

Got my gloveboxes done. Really happy with how they turned out. No more cardboard.....they are carbon.



I went to pick them up, and he showed me a Kawasaki gas tank he was overlaying in carbon tucked away in the corner of his garage:



So stupid thoughts started racing in my head.........Do the same to the split gas tank? What do you guys think?

Got the headlights together. Opted for the early Hella glass, and had the 2 notched ground into them to fit my housings. Grinding was done by a local Crystal grinding shop.



The slim ballast\igniter\terminal block stuffed in the back of it.



Fired up:
