Even with the 6V system there was always an inexpensive way to have the
brightest possible 6V headlamps. Installing a relay inline with the
headlight wiring as it passed near the battery gave absolute full voltage to
those bulbs. No loss in going through the headlight switch or dimmer
switch. Then only need to be sure your ground is good.

I had considered this many times for my 38 ply pickup. However I did put a
6v alternator on it and that seemed to do the trick. My suggestion would be
to do that unless you drive lots at night and need modern high power
headlites. If you do so, be sure to use the smaller diameter pulley for
alternator so it turns faster (as its supposed to). Keeping the large
generator pulley means U dont get the charging benefit at idle and low
speeds.
