[T3] Best source for stop light switches (3-prong)?

I actually just replaced mine a week before the invasion this summer.  
Both of the old ones were really corroded, and only one of them was  
still working, so it took a lot of pedal pressure to the brake light  
to come on. I ordered these: http://airheadparts.com/vintage-vw-parts/vanagon-switches/brake-light-switch-3-prong-german-113945515-g 
  and have been happy with them since installed. They seem to be good  
quality (they definitely held up to some offroading..) I replaced both  
at the time, though technically one was still working.

Good luck!
Sarah
