Default Illuminated amp switch

Have tried searching for this but no joy, I have a illuminated toggle switch (small blue led, 3pins) I would like to use this to turn my amp on and off.

If I wire it as follows will the led illuminate or is there not enough power?

Head unit to power in on switch
Power out on switch to amp
Negative on switch to earth on car

Any help will be much appreciated

Should be fine if that's how the switch has to be wired

No why would it? It's only a 12v feed that tells the amp to turn on so it's barely drawing anything and your led will barely draw any current
