Where is a good toggled relay?

A new toggle switch and relay.

Tap the trigger wire of the relay into the headlight power. Then main power from battery, ground to the screw mounting the relay to the body. Ground the lights to the mounts and bridge the power to the relay.

This is the safer more ideal way of doing it though...

This is the exact way to do it. If you only run a toggle switch, constant power is ran through the switch. It overheats and overloads and will melt. I've had it happen. Only relays for me now!

You can ditch the indicator though.

yeah, you don't need the indicator part unless you want it.
