Default POS Headlight switch

Could someone please recommend a top quality source for a headlight switch?
I just finished putting new bulbs and lenses along with a new headlight switch and noticed that the vacuum port just fell off. Upon close inspection the switch was of a poor quality. All c3 owners know how much fun the dash is on these cars so I don’t want to do this again. (This one was supplied by one of the big vendors and of course can’t be returned.)
Thanks - New member

I bought a new HL switch from Willcox and its been in the car since almost two years now with no problems at all. It looks and feels exactly as the original GM one, except that it came in a different box with no brand or name on it.

Thanks guys
I bought a original on EBay this morning.
Between putting the top left nut on the vacuum booster and making sure all the bulbs stayed plugged in on the instrument cluster I did not need the switch to fall apart.
I am looking forward to easy jobs like the trailing arms and axels.
Duntov Motors is building me a set of offset arms with new hubs and bearings.
