I'm in the midst of a full re-wire on the Autostrada. Thinking about new 6v globes (tail/stop, instrument light, etc) and curious to know if anyone has tried 6v LED equivalents.

6v LED 'bulbs' ?

Re: 6v LED 'bulbs' ?
Hi TIA
I did. Looks a bit strange, because of the cool white Light, but it works.
Much lower Power Consumption and brighter Light.
I only use it in the rear Light, because of the Colour.
Best Wishes,
Johann

Strangeness is fine
Increased brightness and lower power consumption can only be plusses on a 6v system. They're more expensive, of course, but worth a try I think.

Re: 6v LED 'bulbs' ?
maybe you can find something in 'warm white' instead of the bright white ones.
And tell us how long they last
LED in bike or car environment they sometimes die very fast.
In my car i first first had a constant-current electronic which did not work. Next a constant-voltage unit.
If i remember right. As it's now years ago. Without any problems in the end.

I dyed LEDs in yellow for the Gauge Illumination of my Classic Car.
The Result is not really great. It's still a big Difference to regular Bulbs.
LEDs can`t hide their Identity...
