I already replaced the wiring on the old switches, and I have the complete
wiring harness from a Coupe 87 in a box in the basement. So will be a piece
of cake, plug and play.

 

Will look for the 20$ switches for sure before forking 150$ for a pair of
OEMs...

Here in Colorado at Import Car Parts (303 789-1789) talk to either Tim or
Matt or manager Rick. But every aftermarket supply will carry them and as
Brandon has said you can get them from the salvage yard for very little and
you can cut a piece of the attached wiring harness at the same time. (which
you will need)  /Peter

Where exactly can you get the aftermarket switches?

You can buy OEM aftermarket for around $20 for the same exact switch you
quoted. /Peter
