6Volt headlight problems
I know this may not belong on this forum, but I posted it on the panhead section and it really does not seem to get a lot of attention as this section.
My roadies dad has a '57 PanHead and the headlight is rather dim and it runs on 6v. He is wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what did they do to fix it other than replace the headlight. He is older and the light does seem to throw more of a yellow beam than white. He is trying to make it brighter other than going 12v. Any ideas? Thanks.

Is the bulb actually 6v, or did someone accidentally put in a 12v somewhere along the way?

He is a wrench twister and I feel that he would not have had made that kind of mistake, but anything is possible. I will throw these suggestions at him and see what comes up from it. Thanks a ton and let you know back, just keep the idea/suggestions flowing.
