Yes! I was able to find it. My Lowes never had it in stock, but today
there it was in the electrical aisle.
Its called PlugGrip, and has two separate test lights (one for each
outlet in a duplex receptacle). It works pretty good trying to flush
up already mounted outlets, but I assume it would work even better
before the outlets are screwed in. I have a few outlets to swap out in
the near future, so Ill see how well it does or doesnt work (but for 10
bux, at least I have something I can plug into the outlet and turn off
breakers to see when the lights go out).
They actually have a light switch version of it, check out
www.pluggrip.com for their product information.
