Default Adding a LED light

I just bought a 2017 850 SP (about 2 months ago). I am thinking on adding a 6 1/2 LED light to the front bumper. The light is 35 Watts / 3 AMPS. Can I wire this light into the existing high beam circuit? Would the draw be too much on this circuit? Or would I have to wire in a new circuit with an additional switch.
Thanks

My two cents is I wouldn't do it that way. Better to wire it safely. See if this article helps,plus a lot of kits have instructions plus mentions any parts needed that may not be in the kits.Wiring Led Light Bar ? readingrat.net

All my light bars are wired through relays except for the 4" pods on my wifes polaris which are wired to the factory low beam wiring as a direct replacement.

If you don't plan on using a switch then i'd definitely use a relay triggered by the high beam but pulling power directly from the battery.

Finally got the LED installed and wired, with it's own circuit and waterproof rocker switch.
