Where do I get "THESE" buttons ?

I am looking for the same thing. I am making a "You Dont Know Jack" Control panel and need big buttons. I was tempted to add a microswitch to a taplight.

Now THAT'S a great idea.  Those things can be had for a buck each and you might even be able to use the switching mech already inside, as long as you can defeat the latching.  Probably a molded mechanism that just needs a pin broken off to become a "momentary" switch.

I have a couple around that will get dissected this evening and I'l report back if no-one else beats me to it :).

Now if only they had taplights in different colors. :)

Couldn't you just put colored bulbs in them? Maybe paint the inside of the lens? Where there's a will there's a way. I agree, great idea.

Depending on the material the dome is made out of, surface dying the plastic with RIT dye might be a viable option.
