The problem with the ceramic reducers is that they that don't put out a fixed voltage amount. The actual voltage drop is based on load, and input voltage. If you going to stick with 12v, then get solid state IC regulators that put out a fixed 6volts regardless of input voltage.

For the gauges, a 6v voltage regulator vs a 6v voltage reducer. Plenty of prebuilt ones on eBay.

Usually, motors use the ceramic reducers, as they can handle higher loads.

If you get a universal 12v coil that has the ballast resistor built in, then you can loose the external ballast resistor and make it look more stock.
