You could always look at adding one or more headlight relays and dividing the usage across them. There is lots of information available from various sources on the internet, try a search on Google.

I have the foglights on my crashbar, together with the normal passing lamps. Never had any troubles. I have an FLHT so there was a spare switch hole in the console. I added a second ACC switch to control them. As Sooee said, a relay is a good idea. Power the lights from the battery through a fuse, then the relay. The switch only powers the relay.
