I changed Scarlett to 12 volts some time ago, which helps with a brighter headlight. Now I added an auxiliary LED light to increase my visibility to drivers.

Very nice !
Auxiliary visibility LED's are a addition on all my 12v bikes because I actually can tell the difference they make. A lot more cars, at a greater distance, pause from pulling out in front of me than what was normal for most of my riding career.
Debatable, but I prefer yellow for the front, especially at night. And I make my own from store bought 24 bulb clusters and PVC plumbing caps.
Are there 6 volt auxiliary LED options? I've got two 6v bikes.
