I made a new wiring harness on my 504 recently and installed a new light switch. I went back with sealed beams and used 14 ga wire, so I know there should not be much voltage drop.
If you have small wire or are using the $10 Blazer brand Utility lights from Wal-Mart, I would wire them through an automotive relay. They are about $3-$4 dollars at most parts houses. The lights I mentioned are BRIGHT floods and look like your typical universal tractor light. They have a H-3, 55W bulb, which is 110W total, for 9.2A (2x55/12=9.2A). I do not like running that much thru a toggle switch.
Relays are pretty simple and make locating the switch easier and keeping the light wires shorter and closer to the battery. I am going to add two of these lights onto my loader to increase my night visiblilty.
