Help Finding a Rocker Switch

Note the console switches. I want a rocker switch to place in the vicinity of the shift pattern. I'd like white symbols to match the OEM switches. Anyone know where I can purchase one (I've done a net search and found what I want in companies overseas, nothing in the states that I could locate, but I know there has to be something out there). If anyone has pics, that would be great.

why dont you get another power window switch and use that, it doesnt get any more factory looking than that.
Or try this place http://www.remingtoncoachcraft.com/index.html

The power window switch would be momentary. I need on/off.
Many thanks for the link.

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
Look into something out of one of GM's other cars from the mid/late-80's. I snagged a foglight switch out of a 88-ish Pontiac 6000 that is a visual match for the Firebird window switches (grey rocker with black trim) but the switch is an SPST type (on-off) with white lettering and no indicator light.

look for other GM switches.... sometimes even if they look diffrent, you can pop off the cover from the actual switch, and match it with another cover.... so you get your on/off matching switch.
