Exclamation Wiring accessory neon interior lights

ok - here is my problem.

I have some blue neon lights under my seat that turn on when my door is open, dome light is on etc... What I want to do is be able to turn on the neon lights without turning on the dome. I know I can do this with a 3 way switch, or a relay of some kind. Now I can not find a rocker style 3-way switch anywhere. I can only find the toggle style - which are ugly as hell.

Can someone in here tell me what relay and how to wire it into the lights? Or where to get a SMALL 3-way rocker switch with lighted on/off? EX: when its off-no light, lights on-red, lights on when door opens-blue.

Thanks in advance,
Ed

That's the same lighted rocker switch they use in Coffee Makers.

They are rated for lots of juice by they might be dearly priced.
Check at a small appliance repair center.

You can get them in amber & red.

If this is for the 03 ,I don't know where the 12V power source is behind the intrument cluster.

What is the power rating of the neons ?

The lights are 12v - i dont know the amps. They are only 10" long - I have one under each front seat(2).

I don't think they draw much current.
That switch I mentioned is safe 30 watts or 3 amps I think.
I can't remember.
