Wiring a 4 pin R16-503 switch

Hi all,

Newbie here, hope you can help?

Can someone show me a diagram of how to wire a 4 pin latching switch please? I'm running it off a 12v dc li-ion rechargeable battery and connecting it to a few LED strip lights. I want the LED on the switch to illuminate only when the switch is pressed on (closed).

This is what the back looks like. https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/58885

many thanks Chris
