Remember that a nominal 6 volt system doesn't measure at an actual 6 volts most of the time. A normal voltage while charging the battery can be as high as 6.9 volts; more potent charging systems could take it higher yet. Fuses shouldn't be matched precisely to the load: the idea behind a fuse is to protect the wire from exceeding its maximum capacity. Best bet would be a fourteen gauge wire to feed both headlights, with a 15 amp AGC fuse protecting the circuit. If you have a choice, make sure to locate the fuse as close to the power source as possible--you don't protect anything upstream of the fuse. If you use a circuit breaker, pay close attention to the metal can. Do NOT mount it so that it forms a "cup" in which water can collect. If it fills with water, you've got no protection since the breaker won't blow.
