These are only a couple of 18W LED lamps drawing a max of 2.2 amps. Any toggle switch will do. You showed every picture except the useful one. A wiring diagram.

If these lamps just have two wires coming out of each lamp and you wired them to the battery directly, you could instead, eliminate the switch all together and wire them to the low or high beam. Just leave the ground wire on the battery and move the 12v on to the headlight circuit. Or just replace the switch with on that doesn't have a Light, bingo, no parasitic draw.
