Would I be able to put a 12V LED festoon tail light bulb in my smallframe with a 6V system I assume it would be a bit dimmer? or am I being dim? little help?

LED's use a very low voltage usually dropped from your system voltage(6,12V) by a resistor. But the best way to find out is to put 6V on a LED and see what happens! Which is exactly what I have done for you matey. I took the 12V LED from the rear light of my Rally and put 6V across it - it works with no loss of brilliance. Job done.

Cheers
