That's probably best, especially since these switches don't have a great track record.
With the HIDs, the load is dropped by about 1/3 on low beams (from 100 watts with halogen to 70 watts with HIDs), so that will help the new switch to last longer.

The main issue is that all of the current passes through the switch. With most cars, the switch just operates a low current draw relay which powers the headlights.
