I use 6v bulbs, 15 Watt.

I struggle to get hold of them locally, could I use a 12v bulb? And if
so
what wattage would be best?

As everyone else has said, "no", and "what type of cap?".

http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.e...ting/bulbs.php

shows a few types, but the only 6V 15W shown is a festoon type.

A pleasant enough firm to deal with, too.

Thanks all, I got them from a bike dealer last time but they were the wrong
wattage and were a bit dim (i'll do the jokes).

I have some on order and will get the details from the bulb when they come
in.

It is a bayonet type with one terminal on the base.

Cheers.
