Momentary switches

I need to install some momentary switches and I am wondering if any of you have any ideas for what looks good and functions well (switches come in so many varieties), and what is a good location to install 2 momentary switches.

Application: I have the Baja Designs OnX6 40" Dual Control Light Bar: https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/onx6-dual-control-40-amber-white-led-light-bar.asp

This is an amazing piece of kit. One of the cool features it has, is you have the ability to dim the lights or even strobe them via momentary switches (N.O.). The standard power level (which is HIGH) of the OnX6 is very bright. So hooking up the switch, although optional, is desirable.

I am thinking of installing these switches:

My white spot is controlled with SPOD switch #1 and my Yellow Floods are SPOD switch #2, so I am thinking maybe just install them right underneath where the switches are:

Do they have to be rated switches? There's tons of cool small tactile type switches

I am not sure if they have to be rated. The reality is, its just a control signal.......when the OnyX senses ground on that line, it switches the power level. So its gotta be very low current/voltage, I was going to run maybe 22awg for it and then just ground the switches to some screw/bolt near the location. I definitely would like a pleasing looking switch.
 
I'll send you 5 if you want? Hahha what flavor? The one on the far right is a black butt with a chrome surround FYI

What size are those? You see the location I am trying to place them, do you think they would fit? Are they screw type for the connection or just solder? the red switches I have are mini (or maybe even micro). I am just concerned about the size of what may fit in that location.

The black on black is screw, the rest are solder, you could still solder to the screw posts, 11mm is the threaded part with backing nut, and the faces are 17.5mm by 20mm deep including terminals, momma bear slings coffee all night so I'll have to look in the morning if they would fit
