Question Need help finding a part, round rocker switch (part number in post)

Looking for a round 12v rocker switch. AutoZone stocks it in red and blue, but not green. Need the green. The cardboard backing of the packaging is blue in color with a clear plastic tub to hold the part, just like any other "card" part on the peg board shelf.



Pilot Automotive is the manufacturer. PL-SW15G is the part number. G indicates green, R for red, and B for blue. Costs about $4.99, but more concerned about availability since I don't want to wait for shipping and would prefer a local store or chain that stocks it.

Anyone know who has it? No go on Napa, Pep Boys, AutoZone, Advance Auto, and Radio Shack... Please don't post up, "have you tried ___", just let me know where you've found it. Thanks!

... far cheaper to buy in bulk on eBay, but I don't want to wait for shipping. Will call around to the various Napa places and see who has it in stock.

Mods, can close this one...

Pilot sells the worst switches I've ever seen, get something decent.

Well fuck. NAPA lists it but doesn't stock them, had to order 16 from Hong Kong. 16 for $24 ($1.50/ea after shipping) just to get two of them.

What switches have you found that have a small green LED that is "decent" then?
