I just painted over the symbols for mine. It is not white writing, nail polish remover won't work. It is molded clear plastic in the plastic of the switch cover. It is also backlit from the dash lights through the clear portion. I would love to find a way to put a symbol or letters on there for the application. So far I haven't come up with anything that looks 'factory'.

BTW You will want the Fog not the ASR for line lock.

Tape off the oblong shape that lights up (this way you can use it to ligth up to let you know it is armed), paint over the rest with a low-gloss black. I painted the inside of mine (just where the symbol is) to be safe as well...

ditto on the last 3...make sure you get the fog so that it stays on, not a momentary on like the ASR switch

You can't just paint the inside. It's clear on the inside and outside. I painted over mine with flat black paint:
