Most any 12 volt lighted switch will work. Just connect your power source to the load side of the switch. Use the power in for the load. That will provide power to the internal light in the off postion. The switch will still light your ceiling light, but the internal light will always remain on. The problem with this is obvious.

We addressed this issue in our fifth wheel by adding a small battery operated light with a built in motion detector and photo cell. When we open the door after dark the light switches on. As soon as we turn the lights on it turns off. While it does operate on AA batteries, It's been using the original batteries for more than two years.
