Can I use this switch for driving lights?

I have been searching for switches to use with driving lights (I want it to look as close to factory as possible ). So far, the switch that I like best is a mini-rocker with a green-led indicator. Here is a link to the switch (2nd switch from the bottom).

Problem is - it's listed for AC! Can I safely make this switch work? I will be using a relay, and I don't plan on having much amperage going into the switch. I have done a good bit of 12v DC automotive wiring over the years, but I don't know much about AC. Does anyone know of a place where I could get a similar 12v DC switch. I know that this probably seems like a stupid question, I appreciate your help. Thanks.
 






you should be able to, a few years ago i use a on-off-on switch for a set of horns on my car and i never had a problem.

if you can buy two that way you can test with one and if it works you have a spare or can use it esle where
 






sorry about that i new at this but that switch i had a few years ago was AC.

all AC means is that it will alternate from (+)125 to (-)125 .

DC will work just fine just means that it will only have 0 volts or 12 volts.
