It's actually referred to as the "on-off emblem."Someone asked a question about this being illegal. I don't know of any statutes that prohibit this in the U.S., but in Japan this can be illegal, depending on the color of the lights. There are specific places on the vehicle where white lights are allowed, and the emblem is not one of them. They can, however, pass the vehicle inspections by using either blue or green LED's, so that's why you see two different versions of the lit emblem in hapaboy's original post. This particular owner wound up going with the blue lights because apparently there's a stigma associated with the green lights looking too much like a Honda. Anyway, the power switch actually was an evolution of this mod because the Japanese dealers refuse to service the cars with this installed, since it's illegal.
Here's a picture of the switch:
And the relevant wiring:
Which gets routed through these holes:

IF i were to display one, it would only be own during the fog/winter/hazy/rainy conditions, you know just before sunset where the city lights and any other respectable lights look quite appropriate.
LoL!!! I'm just kidding around. Well....its nice though. To bad you couldn't bring your car down for the meet on the 27th.
