Well, firstly you will need to use a relay. Your switch is unlikely to take the current. You are drawing 18.3 Amps so a standard 30 Amp relay will do the trick.

Yep, sorted, I have 30amp wire and a 35amp relay and 35amp switch.
Taking the signal from the main beam cable but override switch for road use!
