Do you want to switch the lights independently of the dip & main beams ??
Since the 1200 has AHO it would be easier to tap the relay off the dip beam, the 1200 will allow this due to the difference in bulb wattages in some EU countries, you'll get away with the relay.
There are watterproof switches available at Maplins, RS or Farnells or you could try Bardwells on Abbeydale Road first.
Also there are boots available for regular switches, I have an Illuminated push switch for my fogs mounted under the instrument cluster and wjhile not waterproof its sheltered and I have had no problems with it.
Have you got that crap led rearlight changed yet.??

I have a standard push button fitted into the left hand side of the tool box. Just put your left hand under your leg and turn them on or off. As most of my aux lighting originates from the tool box it seemed common sense to locate the switch in the same location. Doesn't need to be waterproof cos it hard gets wet. Aux lights are powered by relay from the dip light but I wanted the option of turning them off hence the switch.

Had a look at the Canbus circuits prefer to keep away from that area, mine is completely seperate and retains the integrity of the original bike loom. Your bike your choice.
