light bulb troublezzzz

[BeerRules420]

i have a 1980 cb125 and the whole thing is 6v. its pretty hard (i think?) to find decent lighting options that are 6v and not some ugly plastic garbage so i bought a 12v headlight and just figured i'd swap the innards from the old light for this one. but the best laid plans...

so my question is, can i just order a new bulb for this thing and will that do the trick? the bulb i took out of the new headlight says au lite 12v 60/55 watts. i found a similiar bulb online that says au lite 6v 15watts. will this solve my problem? CAN IT EVER WORK?! i'm very new to all this, its my first build and my first bike. HEP ME.

a pic of the 12v one would be helpful to see the guide plate shape

Look into swapping the stator (and most other electronic bits) from a cb350. I believe most of them swap fairly easily, and they are 12 volts.
