Default Light bar Setup

Got a 12in light bar ordered for my 03 Grizzly, I know where i want it an how i want to mount it, but having some debate on a switch. Every wiring harness I’ve found for light bars requires you to drill out a hole for the switch somewhere in the plastics. I got the tools for it but i really don’t like the idea of cutting into the plastic anyways. Found a few handlebar switches, but most are made with 20gauge wire, and from what I’ve read, that small of wire isn’t a good choice for a light bar.
So my question is, has anyone found a good switch for their atv that dosnt require drilling? And has anyone used the handle bar switches an had any issues with them? Thanks in advance.

Since your harness with have the relays and everything in it remove the switch and tire the trigger wire from the switch to your high beam circuit. Your light bar will be pulling power direct from battery so all the switch is doing is trigging it to turn on no other load will be on that switch so even those switches with 20ga will be fine as they are not seeing a load
