Default 71 brake light switch

My brake light switch went bad took it out to replace it and it looks like something is up with the female connector. the two wires have been spliced an from the looks of it a later model connector spliced in.

The switch is Black and I have looked on line at three different web sites and have come up with three different color switches.
Who sells the most original switch.
This is Mine

Hi T-Jet,
I looked at Paragon and they have one they say is OEM for $7.00. Sounds too good to be true. NOTHING costs just $7 anymore!!!!
Regards,
Alan

I'd imagine other vendors will have it as well... Wilcox?

Hey Louis,
Here's a pic of mine. Not sure if it's the original switch, but those white plugs I believe are correct, and I think sometimes they are blue as well like yours. There was a thread a while ago about those plugs.
