Why does my LED toggle switch not illuminate?

This is the switch.



The three spade connections are power, accessory and ground. This is for the foglights on my bike. Switch works fine, but the LED does not illuminate. I bought it at Radio Shack yesterday because it looked identical to the switch I already had on there, which I thought was non-illuminated. But both switches are identical. I want a green LED, since I can't otherwise see if the foglights are on in the daytime while sitting on and parking the bike. I find it hard to believe I got two switches in a row with bad LED's in them. But the wiring is so simple, I can't see how I can screw it up. How do I get the LED to go on?
