So I'm thinking that since I have a non-functional toggle switch on the dash (wired for an electric fuel pump which I do not have), I can utilize that switch for turning on/off the City Lights on the Hella headlight. Just have to put the toggle switch in line with the supply wire to the little bulbs. But first I need to confirm that the two wires currently attached to the switch are fused (i.e. connected to the fuse box where the E. Pump fuse is located...if there is a fuse there).

Any glaring flaws to my thoughts on this?
I don't see any 'glaring flaws' - but have you thought about wiring them to the parking / running lights circuit? Alternatively you could set them up as DRLs, either with a DRL module or a relay that powers them up when the ignition is on.
