Rovers North has the switches you're looking for.
Auxiliary Switch (like the dimmer switch)
C38637L $24.50
They also have switch which looks just like the head lamp switch that mounts
on the right hand side of the steering column.
Auxiliary Light Switch
PRC3432 $68.00
Both switches are genuine land rover parts.

East Coast Rovers has Genuine switches that match the factory d90 dimmer
switch but are 2 or 3 position, blank or w/ light or fan symbols. They also
have one w/ an ARB symbol on it. When I got a couple a while back I think
they cost $23 maybe?

With a little help from Mike Foster and a few blown fuses (I know nothing about DC electrics - I'm an Alternating Current student)... I've done a little write up on how to get your Auxillary light indicator to illuminate when your auxillary lights are on...
To see pix and the write up, go to the Minnesota Land Rovers website, and click on the "repair and improve" link.

Lights are great additions for wheeling, but you have to make sure you have proper wiring and fuses , relays and voltage to power everything (if they were to all run at the same time. ) Many of us have already burn out switches after using brighter bulbs and H4 in just the headlights. You may want to invest in switch block or remote fuse blocks that let you add all the extra electrical goodies without going back to the battery with each and every wire. Although the top roll bar is a easy place to mount 2 extra sets of lights, they tend to add to much glare off the hood (bonnet) if the windshield is even slightly dirty, or there is dust , rain , snow, or fog they will be more of a hinderance than help. Some guys have gone as far as putting mat finished (dull black)hood decals to cut the reflection. In between the bull bar is good as long as you keep them back enough so the first snow bank , tree, or heavy brush doesn't take them out.
