You don't want it in series; it has to be connected in parallel.  

I've considered it myself; but I'm not convinced it will be all that useful.
I've never had one of those switches fail closed (although several have
failed open); and for me at least, I'm a lot more likely to notice that the
OD is not acting as it should much quicker than noticing that a light on the
dash doesn't flash on and off as it should. 

It's also difficult to get something bright enough to see in full sun;
without being so bright that it interferes with night vision (or at least is
annoying in the dark).
