Default 4WD 3-button switch replacement

I have a 2001 chevy blazer that I am trying to replace the 3-button 4wd switch. The one that I have only the small dot lights up depending on which mode you are in (2HI, 4HI, 4LO). This is hard to see at night. I want a switch where the letters (2HI, 4HI, 4LO) light up also along with the small dot. I have seen on some blazers where the letters light up. Where can I get a switch where everything lights up?

I found a solution to this if anyone has had this same issue. I bought a new switch from Rock Auto. I did not get the Dorman model as it looked cheap and someone also mentioned they thought it was a cheap part. I purchased the Standard model which was more expensive but looked well made and durable. I took a chance to see if this would work. Only took like 2 minutes to install. It worked!! The letters now light up as well as the small circle to let you know which mode you are in. Very easy to read in the dark and the lights are bright.

The part that you installed, was it an AC Delco part, like from a GM dealer?

It wasn't. The part was from Standard Motor Products Inc
