Overkill, your answer reminds me of an eBay description of a NOS Lucas motorcycle headlight switch for a British bike: "Guaranteed to work as infrequently, intermittently, and randomly as the original"

Propane, ya gotta set up your gallery man. We're starting to go into withdrawal from lack of pictures of your truck.

As Terry said, the 6V switch will work fine in a 12V situation. I would not do the reverse, though.
