If for some reason I cannot get around to taking it out and apart tonight, which wire can I run a toggle switch to as a jiffy rigged way, to get me back to work early tomorrow morning with headlights.
The power for the headlights goes from battery/alternator to the fuses (one for each) to the headlights, then a red wire with white traces goes from each healight, they join and go to the switch. The switch is more complicated than a toggle but if you tap into the red/white wire and run through a toggle switch to ground, it will turn on your headlights.
It will leave your low beams on regardless of the dimmer switch position (if the dimmer is to high beams, both high and low will stay on.
Each headlamp has a 10amp fuse so you need to use a switch rated for at least 12VDC/20 amps. You should also use 12 guage wire or larger (size, not number) and it should be a temporary band aid. Make sure you run it to a good ground.
