Need a Room Indicator light/sign when motion sensor switch is triggered inside the room?

I’ve searched for hours to no avail. I’ve got a double light switch box outside our mud/bathroom room that is now empty, because I moved those switches inside the room. So now I want to put an Indicator Light/Occupied LED sign or something in there to show the room is occupied, triggered by the lightswitch toggle, or better yet, via motion detection switch triggered inside. And I’d like to do it for minimal costs…ANY SUGGESTIONS? I’ve looked all over for LED type thing that could be wired into a Switch. Ceiling motion detection appears to be too expensive – so just figured the Motion Light switch would do. This room has an outside entry as well, so knowing if someone is in there would be great, and better looking than patching the elctrical box hole as well.
I’d like a ‘Room in Use’ sign that would fit that area if possible – but an LED light only is acceptable alternative if no such thing exists.

If you pigtailed the wires within the old box:

Purchase a LED light which has a threaded barrel with a nut and washer: Electronic store (ie; Radio
Shack) should have them. Make sure they are 110 volts rated and have short wires attached.
Purchase a blank cover for the double light switch box.
Drill a hole in the blank cover just slightly larger than the barrel of the LED.
Attach the LED to the blank cover.
Attach the two LED wires to the appropriate electric wires which operates the lights.
Attach blank cover to box.
