He has installed 12v tail lights and parking/blinker lights. Other than diminished brightness is there any other problems that he may run into in the long term by doing this?
Thanks in advance,

Jesse,
Why use 12v lights in a 6v system?
6v replacement bulbs are readily available.
I'd stay all 6v or switch everything to 12v.
Someone will hopefully post more useful/helpful suggestions for your information.
