Eric, there should be several sources for a new switch. Try these.

Vanagain.com
Van Cafe
GoWesty
Bus Depot

There may be others.

I would recommend the headlight relay kit to go with the new switch. The
relay setup bypasses the switch using the relays and puts power directly to
the lights which makes them burn brighter by bypassing the circuit
resistance in the light switch itself. And the switch runs cooler when
lights are on.
