I would use two automatic reset breakers, or a breaker for the headlights and a fuse for the tail lights a 15-20 amp for the headlights and a 7-10 amp for the taillights. A measurement of the actual amp drain of the head or tail lights would help properly size the breakers / breaker and fuse.
A momentary short will blow either a fuse or breaker, but with a blown fuse, the lights will stay out. With an auto reset breaker, there is a better than even chance that the breaker will reset ang get the lights back on so you have some light to stop the car. All cars have used an auto reset breaker on the headlight circuit since the early 50's
Put the tail lights on a smaller fuse, about 1/2 that of the headlight breaker, so a short in the tail lights will not also knock out the headlights
