12v ... well more like 11-14V but generally considered to be 12V.  Standard Automotive battery voltage.

Maybe----- if they use a simple transistor current source or resistor they would work at lower brightness on 12v.  If they are well made LED lights then they will use a switching led power supply like my company makes.  In this case if the supply isn't designed to run down to 12v then they would not function at all.
