Haven't looked at the HL switches (other electrical mods ahead of it), but on another vehicle used flat topped low lumen LEDs glued flush into a hole drilled into the switch top. Use an appropriate voltage divider/regulator/resistor combo to drive the LEDs at the needed levels. A flat topped surface mount LED would fit a very small space.

The other option would be to place the LEDs in the well of the switch housings facing the button.

Personally, I think the buttons and the panel are kind of cheap looking for the vehicle.
