It says they are 12v, 20a rated switches. But, I would like to use it with 24v instead of 12v. Any reason I shouldn't do that? Don't want to start a fire or anything. I'll only be pulling about 4a through them.

The switch's contact will open and close and conduct the 24v but the LED backlight probably won't work since it is only rated for 12v.

That's what I was going to say too... The Switch contacts will be fine with the voltage but the LED's may NOT like being fed twice their normal voltage...
