   there should be one for ilumination on the switch mate, or you could just wire them into the sidelights, they will still turn on and off

   Are the pins numbered on the back of the switch? I was just looking in the haynes manual at the wiring diagrams and it says that pin 8 connects to interior illumination, so i suppose that would light it up.
