How to wire the pilot light of a light switch?
There are 2 screws just like any other switch, but there are 2 wires, one is white, and the other one is white with a black stripe, so, where should I connect these 2 wires?

The 2 wires that are present in the box just get attached one to each screw. The switch itself is what completes the circuit to turn on the light. The lighted "handle/switch" will take care of itself.

the white wire of the pilot light should be connected to another white (neutral) wire. the black wire should be connected to a switch and a wire caring power should be connected to the same switch.
A light is always working like this . The neutral is connected to the neutral wire in to the panel . And the switch leg of the light is connected to a switch from were you get the power to light the bulb. The switch is turning the power on and of to the light bulb always.
