I was answering both of your questions with the same answer.... Do not attempt to run the current for the lights directly through the switch alone. The low beams pull 8-9 amps, and the high beams 13-15 amps. Add to that the parking lights and you have a potential 20 amp load through the switch. Not a good thing. Also be sure to use wire of correct gauge based upon length of the wire run and maximum anticipated current load if in doubt us larger size.
