Any idea where to find this switch:
DPST, 12VDC Illuminated?

Sounds simple enough, so far the only thing I have found is a rectangle rocker.
Something that mounts in a round hole would be better so I don't have to drill a square hole.

Rocker, toggle or push button is fine but it needs to be DPST, 12VDC Illuminated.

Oh, I thought you were thinking it was only in a relay.

I am having trouble finding a DPST, 12VDC Illuminated switch that will mount in a round hole rather than rectangle.

It wouldn't matter if it was a rocker, toggle, push button or even rotary type. If the switch Illumination required lower voltage for an led I could step the power down for it.

So far all I can find is a rocker that requires a rectangle hole.
So my question was- where can I find a switch like that?
