Default 1988 reverse transformation switch

Anyone know where I can buy a replacement reverse lamp switch for a 1988 vette? Only place I’m seeing in stock is corvette central for 62 bucks.

What do you mean by "cheaper"? 57.00? 45.00? Lower? Not gonna happen. You going to quibble over 10.00 on a part that you are lucky to access as it is?

Panties are just fine - I use the granny style. C4 world is the same as any other world.

If the switch is mechanically sound but isn't working I would soak the switch in rubbing alcohol for a day or two and see if it starts working again. They can stop working when they get gummed up.
