[T3] DOT5 and Brake Light Switches

[Jacob Hoffman]

In one of your previous replies, Jim, you mentioned that the Meyle ones are
now manufactured in Spain. I'm thinking about trying these Beck Arnley ones
on Amazon. From the description, it sounds like Beck Arnley just buys parts
and puts them in their own boxes. The description says these parts
originate in Spain, so I'm thinking they might actually be Meyle.
