Pilot light on my 3way light circuit?

[Toller]

I have switches for my garage in the garage and the inside hall. I am constantly leaving it on carelessly, and have no way to see it from inside to know it was left on. It would be great to have a pilot light on the inside switch that would show me the garage light is on.

Sadly, the power goes to the inside switch. The only piloted 3way switch I can find will work on the garage switch (because the common goes to the lights and can be paralleled to the pilot) but if I am in the garage I don't need a pilot light.

Everything is drywalled, so running an extra wire from the light to the inside pilot light is impractical.

Is there any reasonably priced way out of this dilemma? I mean, other than being more careful?

Thanks.
