Can i use a transistor to invert this switch output?

Can i use a transistor to invert this switch output?

Hi,
First things first, I’m a mechanics guy so sadly (for now) I don’t know much about transistors apart from how they work and the basics, no idea about typical specs.
I’m using this pressure switch on my motorcycle to get rid of the mechanical one for the brake light, the problem is that these are made only NO, while the mechanical switch is NC so I need the same type.
Instead of going through the hassle of fitting a relay, I was thinking to use a transistor to invert the output signal, considering my brake light is led and rated for 3.8W at 12V, so around 0.3A.
Are there any transistors than can handle that current and voltage or is it too much?
Thank you.
