Default Need switch reccomendations

I'm bulding my own switch panel. I need to find switches that are 0n-Off-On. I have found some at the local chain parts stores, but they are ugly as sin. I want to find some that look good and have LEDs in them (like the ARB swithces). Additionally, I want to find matching swithces that are simply on-off sot the switches on the panel match.

Thanks,
Micah

Micah, the best ones I found are the KC switches. They really match the JK interior perfectly. All my switches are the KC ones and they have the nice green LED light in them, too.

I have something similar to those now. But I cant find them in the center off (on-off-on) configuration.

those look good, but do they make them for left hand drive vehicles too?

Ahh, no, they're just on/off.

Radio Shack has a bunch of switch types - lighted and not. I bought two unlit ones for my PIAA 525s. They are about $2. Lighted might be $3. They are in that case in the electrical section with all sorts of stuff in drawers. Just pull em out and take a look. Cheap and you can have today. Mine said VAC ratings on them but they work fine with 12VDC and I only used them to turn on the relay so no real juice flowing through them anyway.
