Okay, considering that I look on electricity as plumbing with electrons and anytime I get much past + or - my eyes start to glaze over, I'm not the best one for advice here. But...human nature and capitalism being what they are, I would suspect that the switch in question is probably used for both the 6V and 12V system. It probably just a soft switch that allows the light to warm up so that it doesn't just snap on. Contact Nitehawk and ask them if you can convert it to 12V. They also sell separate heads which I thought were pretty reasonable (around $30 each if I recall) and they sell switches too.
While you are at it, make (or get) a second light for you helmet. You should always have at least 2 lights...'cause it's dark out there and lions like the taste of monkey
