Weatherproof switch?

I'm imagineering a work light to mount on my tire rack, and I'd like to switch it there, in addition to the dashboard. The Hella Matador has a switch built in, and using that would probably be the easiest option. But not the cheapest, and it kinda looks like a thief magnet to me.

Does anyone have a source for weatherproof automotive switches? Something I could mount on a flange on the mounting plate for the light?

The easy, simple solution:
McKenzies & Kartek both likely carry the K-4 switches for buggy use. They're the typical metal cased & handled toggle switch slathered in liquid electrical 'tape' goop. Usually come with a rubber boot.

The more evolved, complicated solution would have to wait for my access to links at home.

I haven't used it myself but I would check a West Marine or similar boating store for off the shelf weather tight switches.
