I have this on my panels. If you use low current switch motors (Tortoise, SwitchMaster) it is just a matter of putting two bi-color LED's and a resistor (or two) in parallel with the wires going to the switch motor, with the LED's oriented in opposite directions. There are other ways to do this with auxiliary contacts, or with LED's in series with the motor, but this way keeps the wiring next to the switch, with only two wires going from the panel to the motor, and gives you control over the brightness of the LED's.
