It appears as though this switch requires 120vac to light up. You need one with a 12vdc lamp.

hiredgun8 got it right, this switch is for household AC current, not DC. If you really have your heart set on using this switch, there is a solution if you like taking stuff apart like I do. I have changed AC lighted switches to DC in the past. You will need to take the switch apart and put a proper size resister for 12VDC. You can usually pop the toggle portion off revealing the inside so you can take out the AC components, usually a resistor, capacitor and a rectifier, after those are removed put in a resistor that will light the LEDs properly. Soldering is involved and a steady hand with a small screwdriver or xacto blade. Let me know if you have anymore questions.It appears as though this switch requires 120vac to light up.
