Default 3-way switch question

Is there a 3-way switch that has a light showing that the light (outside and
can't be seen form the switch) is on. I have an outside garage light with 2
switches, one in the garage and one in the front hallway. From the hallway
you can't see if the light is on or not. Either switch can be in the up or
down position based on where it was turned on or off. (hence 3-way switch)
Looking for some means to identify if the light actually on.

Thanks

They make one that looks like a normal switch. I am just too lazy to
look for one.


I'm skeptical enough about that switch filling the OP's need just by
substituring them for the existing switches that I just pinged Leviton
and asked them for clarification that will be the case, without
requiring one more lead run between the two switch locations, and a
neutral available at both locations as well.

If I get a reply, I'll post it here.
