I wouldn't do it. The strobes aren't light bulbs, they are electronic oscillators, and even if they work for a while you'll probably fry one or both of them. Run them in parallel powered by a 7812 regulator chip connected to your battery. You can get a 7812 for a buck or two at just about any electronic supplier.
