The voltage reducer project is done. I’m very happy with how these turned out. I was able to reuse the original brass terminals for the one reducer. The other one I sourced out some similar brass screws. As for the actual reducer I used Zener Diodes. These drop the voltage from 12v down to 6.8v. I then ink stamped the ends to differentiate the 12v from the 6v. Lastly, they were installed on the back side of the dash on the appropriate gauges.
