Another option. Look at the new LED light bulbs. They use very little current. It might be possible to adapt some of these into the units. Not sure if 6v versions are available but I would think the bulbs can be bought loose from Maplins and a auto bulb made up. The lights can then stay on much of the time with little adverse drain on the charging system.
I am looking at NAF going onto LED as it seems Microcars are invisible these days and having Volvo lights might be a good idea.
