Default How do I wire a lighted toggle for my line lock

I installed a line lock on my car and want to use a lighted rocker switch.
i have the line lock wired the way the instructions tell me. All I want to do is swap out the switch out for one with a light. Here is how it’s currently wired

Most illuminated switches will have 3 pins/spade connectors, the switch will often only be breaking a ground/hot with 2 of the connectors, and having the third connector wired as the opposite. So based off your wiring diagram, you will have two grounds entering your switch, and one switched hot entering your switch.

Be sure to verify the schematic for your switch of choice.

Check mouser, digikey, or parts express for switches. I prefer digikey for switches (and just got a pack of 5 two position not illuminated switches for my line lock that I installed last weekend)
