Default Electrical question - headlight relay needed?

I'm going to be using a Lucas three position toggle for my headlights (off - parking - on). I know using a relay can't hurt, but I am an electrical neophyte and I would like to avoid the complexity (and cost) if I could. Are any of you guys using original type Lucas toggle switches for your headlights and parking lights lights running without relays? I am only using regular sealed beams, nothing fancy up there. Can the Lucas switch handle the load of the headlights and the parking lights without a relay? Thanks.
