For lights get the reflectors from Bratton's (NOT ANYWHERE ELSE!!!) and the most powerful 6 volt bulbs available. If you go 12 volts get the "Brite" bulbs from Ron Francis Wire Works, https://www.ronfrancis.com, (800) 292-1940. Still get the reflectors from Bratton's. If you want it to run better, tune it up, changing the voltage won't affect how it runs.

After my first night drive I'll see if I need more light, and if I do I'll definitely look into these. Thanks again!
