I for one am happy to stick with 6 volt. If it works well why change.
People seem obsessed with poor headlights, the questions I would have for them are - are your reflectors beautifully silvered (not nickelled) and do you have the correct bulbs correctly focussed in the reflector ?
If these two things are correct then the headlights will be good for a vintage car.
Many early cars seem to have stop tail lights for headlights, not a hope in hell of focussing them !
Hope that is helpful.
