24 Volts illuminated switches anybody?

Hey guys,

Does anybody have any idea where to get illuminated toggle switches (24 volts) in the US? Im looking at putting some kind of light in the dash of my bj40 to know when my fog lights are on.

regards

I think any marine supply store or website. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all or most boats run 24v systems.

Can't you just exchange the bulb for a 24V-type? Most of these switches have replace-able bulbs.
There is no problem to use a so called 12V switch in a 24V system (other than the bulb )
