Switches with LEDs

We have a bunch of switches hooked up to the diginal inputs on the board.  We are able to get them to work with the LABView software and driver station, but we are at a loss for how to get the LEDs on the switches to work.  Each switch has three leads.  We have one hooked up to the Digital IO, the other to the ground, and we tried hooking the third to a battery.  We can get the lights to come on if all the switches are closed, but if we throw one switch all the lights sort out.

 

Does anyone have a recommended wiring configuration for using lighted switches with the Cypress board?
