Indicator lights for turnouts

I'm trying to find a circuit that would run indicator lights-preferrably LEDs-on a control panel for turnouts. I bought a Peco switch machine stupidly thinking all those prongs were contacts to which I could connect lights. Turns out they are mounting prongs and the thing has four contacts just like an Atlas machine. Any ideas?

I didn't check out the link (lazy) but I use the Peco extra contact mounts that go on the machines. They will switch a light circuit for you. If you link them to a circuit for a relay, then that circuit will do more than just a pair of lights. Hope this helps. Sorry I don't hav ethe part #, but a good catalogue should have it, or Peco's web site.
