The switch I purchased was for Hazard Warning light switch and is rated at 10 amps -

These lights are 10 watts each making 20 watts total draw,

A = W/V, therefore
A = 20 / 12
A = 1.67 Amps

The switch should be more than meaty enough to cope with the current. I was going to take a feed from the headlight which is drawing just over 3 amps, total current will be under 5 amps in all, so I think everything should be fine. I will double check what fuse is in the circuit for the headlight before turning anything on. Alternatively, the headlight flasher circuit is driven by a relay so I will see whats (ha, no pun intended) available there as well.

Thanks for the heads-up.
