6 volt to 12 volt conversion question
Actually as TB said you may only need one. The key is amperage. "What do they draw?" Pay attention to the ratings if you go with the Runtz regulators.
For gauges you need regulators rather than resistors
Resistors are not a "one shot cures all" deal. Resistors are best used for non-critical devices, and they depend exclusively on the amperage drawn. If you read the destructions for the various "volt tap" devices made, they were kinda klugy and were used in different combinations for different loads.
If you can eliminate converters / resistors the better. That is why you change light bulbs and the coil, etc, to reduce the amount of dropping resistors, which do nothing but produce heat
Below is an example of "volt drop" automotive conversion resistors used for such things as wipers and blower. They are/ were sold by traditional automotive ignition lines, such as NAPA / Echlin, Standard Blue Streak and others
