I was very confused with them calling these dimmer switches which I guess they still are but I was thinking like a potentiometerand not just a 2 position switch.

When it shows up and I get it installed I will update and should be good to go.

Thanks for allthe help
As you've discovered, headlamp dimmer switches aren't like household dimmers, they're just to switch between 'low' beams and 'high' beams.

I had thought about using a push button and a latching relay (like my '75 VW Rabbit), but I'm wiring mine with a toggle switch that will actuate a relay, switching between low and high beams. There will also be a blue high beam indicator lamp wired in to indicate when high beams are on.
