I'd try the 12v bulb first, it will probably work.
The LED lights are probably polarized so would only work in one direction unless you put a bridge rectifier behind each one.
If you want to get a little fancy, a diode lets current flow one way and not the other. So, two 6v bulbs in series with a diode in parallel with one. If pointing the right way will also do the trick. A resister of the right value in place of the second bulb would also work, but would be kind of large…
Either will cost an extra $5 – $10 and no switches to worry about.
The two could be combined for a 6v LED. Let me know if you need more detail...
