Voltage divider SOLVED

Would this work? I have a 1 mil CP, 6 volt spotlight bulb. Will a simple voltage divider using a couple of 100 ohm resisters work from my 12 volt lighter recept. in the dash?
Here is a better diagram.

    You may as well put two of those bulbs in series.
    Otherwise the resistor will be rather large to have the wattage rating you need.


    I only have the one bulb for a spotlight.
    See the new Clicky I added.
