missile style toggle switch for seat heaters

Thinking of trying to swap the rocker switches for the seat heaters to toggle switches with the missile style covers. Realize that this would most likely limit it one heat setting vs the two. Thoughts?

I hate to support things this ricer, but I feel I must.

There is a thing called a 3 position toggle.
And the cover is a separate piece that can be put on them.

I did see those but thought with the cover down it force the switch to the low heat setting. but thinking more about it I guess if you wired it so all the way down was off, middle was low, and up is high it would probably work. Yea figured the look might not be to everyone's taste
