The turn signal assembly is simply a switch and is not voltage defined so there is no problem using it in the conversion. Any device that is electrically operable or has resistance built in, like a relay, a motor, or a light, needs to be matched to the voltage, however. |

Your actually doing your turn signal switch a miniscule favor by switching to 12 volts if that switch operates any turnsignal bulbs directly as the 6 volt system uses more current. Since your bus uses the 9 pin box?, it wont notice any difference if any. They are correct, its just a switch. Amps is the overall factor in determining if the "switch" can handle the load.
