Go through the search function looking for 12v - this is covered in quite a few threads. I'll be doing the same thing myself in time. Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Two wires - wouldn't that be great! No you need to change EVERYTHING and unelss you have a 12V donor car/wreck to pull bits from, it wil cost several hundred bucks

You can buy upgraded 6V QH headlights bulbs that will increase your light 200%
