It's funny, I've never had problems with standard 6 volt headlights and I've had a lot of 6 volt cars over the years. I have had two or three 12 volt cars where the headlights were very dim and I was never able to cure the problem.

Using equal sealed beams, such as the standard type, I find that a 6 volt with good wiring,switch contacts and grounds are equal to a 12 volt.I see a lot of yellow eyes 12 volt cars also.More depends on the condition of the eletrical system.I do run halogen sealed beams in my 12 volt cars and they are very bright.Have regular sealed beams in the 1950 and have no problem with them...now the '39 and '34 leave something to be desired.
With the high current draw of halogens an alternator would almost be required for best results.....and good grounds.
