KC Hilite switch
Ok, 2 questions. Ever since I installed these lights it looks like there is a little led bulb on the on side of the switch. Is it really a led, and if so when should it come on? (when the lights are on, off, or both). 2nd, I was driving down a desolate road last night and went to flip the lights on and the switch was hard to make the lights work, it got to where I had to hold the switch on to make them light up, I flipped the switch on and off several times with more than normal force and it now seems to work correctly other than no led.

-Sounds like you have a bad switch since you were having to hold it to make it work. I'd get a new one
-If the switch does have an led in it, it should only light up when you turn the lights on. If it's the same switch that I got with both pairs of my kc's it should be almost oval shaped and it will have 3 connectors on the back, 2 of the connectors being load and accessory (+) (which sounds like you have those two hooked up since the lights are coming on).. but on the 3rd connector labeled "earth" (-) will need a ground wire ran to it in order for the led to light up.
