If you burn it out from not using a relay (which won't take very long)...

Gut out the button & mount a 20amp momentum switch behind it. When you push the button, you will then have a switch capable of handling the power. Four years later, this setup still works.

I've installed the switch with a relay so you get the "light up" effect, but the light is so dim, I don't think it's worth it. .02

Maybe it depends on the relay you use? Mine has a relay, and the backlighting is fairly bright, very noticeable at night.
