It does not illuminate.
You'll need a toggle type driver circuit to convert the momentary action of the switch to something suitable to drive a relay to power the lights. The switch is not designed to take a large current, just be an input signal for the canbus system where the ECU controls the relay activation.
Take a look at the Atmel U6046 heated rear window/long term timer circuit using the toggle input.

Ok thanks for the info ,
What do I need to do then I want to power on/off Clearwater darla led lights

Did the lights come with a wiring harness and a "volume control knob"?
The installation manual for the Darla lights seems to indicate that they are normally just wired in to a circuit that goes on and off with the ignition so they are on all the time the bike is on and just turned up or down with the knob.
You could get the fog lights enabled by your dealer and use the wiring loom for the originals as a power source for the aftermarket lights, at least this way you'd get the telltale on the dash to indicate that the lights are on.
