Dome light switch switch?

Not a typo, I want to install a switch to turn on the interior lights in the car. The kids often ask for lights so they can find their seatbelt buckles. I usually open my door again to turn the lights on for them but thats annoying in bad weather or when you want to start backing out of a spot while they get around to it. While installing the alarm I realized it would be ridiculously easy to install a switch in series with the door contact wire. My question is, does anyone know what switch would fit the blanks the left of the steering wheel that would have a single pole contact AND would have a symbol that even remotely resembles a light? i.e. foglight, headlight, etc....
 
Google "jim ellis mazda". unlike online mazda parts, they expose the entire mazda parts catalog.
 
I think the ‘fog’ switch from any Mazda product best fit your needs but why not just cut/drill a hole and use a toggle? I though about doing a rotary switch so that I can control dome lights up front for each of the rows (also wanted to install 3rd row dome). I pretty much stop tinkering with the car –for now.
 
Fog switch sounds good. I will look for one that fits the opening. Obviously the one for the 5 is on the stalk. I can check the parts list for every Mazda ever but I thought someone might possess the knowledge already. I like oem stuff, just looks neater and more professional. No one questions it and there isn't a huge price difference.
