Those weird window switches I was talking about... here are some pictures.
The one with the PCB on it is the best, I want to know what they are out of
but my Etka doesn't work right now.  They light up brighter and are easier
to take apart and work better.  Looks to be newer design, maybe C4?

PNs:
4a0 959 855 A OIC  - Printed board switch
893 959 855 -  seperate switch/ lever thing
??? on the last one
