Spot light switch 1988 FLHTC
I have been really putting the miles on my bike this year. I ride several hundred miles every weekend. Last night coming home on a dark stretch of interstate I hit the spot light switch and..nothing. When I got home I checked it and it was the switch. I gently took the switch housing apart and cleaned the contacts without breaking the fragile wires to the switch indicator light. But, I know from experience that once you have to start cleaning contacts that will become a regular repair till the switch gets replaced. Also, those little wires to the switch light wont take too many cleaning sessions. I have googled the switch and can't find it anywhere. Any ideas where I could find a OEM-ish switch?
I could wire in a single throw and a light or something jury rigged from the auto parts store but, I'd rather have something that actually fits in the hole and looks right.

I had trouble with one of mine a few years ago. I replaced them (I have three) with standard switches from an auto electrical website, nothing special. I also bought rubber weatherproof boots for them, but they split very quickly, so were a waste of money!
