dpst switch illumination

sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I want to wire an illuminated rocker power switch.  I have it functioning but without the light, because I don't know how to wire it.  attached is the schematic, if anyone can advise that would be appreciated, cheers.

V+ on pin 3 and 0V on pin 4.  use correct voltage per LED in switch.  hmm...do you need a current limit resistor?  can't say, but might want to put an appropriate value in line to V+ just in case and if too dim, remove it (as one might be built in). 
best,

Been away a while - had a baby and building a house!  never got round to wiring this - til now.  Still confused about it, is the light powered by the 240v mains current that it's switching?  Or do I need to give it a low voltage power source?  Sorry, no info on the switch - it came from Maplin and has no info sheet.  Apart from the above schematic, I only know it's rated 240v 6A.
thanks.

Stick a 9v battery on there with a 470ohm resistor inline, see what happens.
