 What would happen if I put a 12V 5W LED festoon bulb in the tail light fitting of my Vespa 50/S? It has a 6V system but I am having a nightmare with the Tail light bulbs blowing. Would they work and be just a bit dimmer?

May work but could be considerably dimmer and blow anyway.
(only possibly)
Put a voltage tester on your rear light wires and give it some revs. Mine put out 14volts when I ran it as a 6 volt system. Reason being is that no regulator is involved in the 6volt system and its purely the coils themselves that can break down.
Then again if its only one bulb thats blowing, it could just be shorting out..
12 volt conversion is the best option if you're planning on keeping the smallframe.
good luck
