I personally don't like the idea, and don't believe they are necessary if you are careful and thorough in setting up your revised wiring. One more thing to go wrong in a critical system.
If fuses are used, I'd go with separate fused circuits to the left and the right low beams, so you have some redundancy. In the event of a brief short to ground, or fuse failure for some other reason, you still have a headlight - not darkness. As for high beams, one (bigger) fuse is probably OK there.
Consider using a Circuit Breaker. There are auto-reset CB's in parts stores or the JY in a variety of amperage ratings which have the ATC fuse-type terminals and will plug right into an ATC fuseholder. These don't trip like a household breaker and stay off - they cycle repeatedly as long as overcurrent exists, so you get a chance to pull over, switch off, and find your problem. Things then operate as normal, no need for a new fuse.
