By installing the 30 amp CB what you have done is the same as splicing the wires and having no protection in the circuit.
If there would be a direct short the 18ga wire in the headlight circuit will overheat and possibly melt before the 30 amp cb trips. Depending on the length of the wire.
The object of a CB is to protect the circuit based on wire size and amperage draw.
