4 Way light wiring question

Tags: Electrical & Lighting
I need some help wiring a light that will be controlled from 3 switches. I believe that I need one 4 way and 2 three way switches. One of the 3 way switches has a pilot light that I want on whenever the the light is turned on from any of the three switches. Can anyone direct me to a wiring diagram for this installation or let me know if won't work under any wiring arrangement.
Thanks,
Joel

Look here for answers and diagrams on 3-way and 4-way switches.

Thanks,
I've figured it out and it works with the pilot light.
