Light Switch - help needed

[oldnfat]

OK guys, need some help here. Riding along on my 2001 1150 GS and the right hand slider swith for the lights fell out....rang BWM for a replacement of a 20p piece of plastic.

Needles to say you have to buy the whole switch housing for £104 !!!!

Does anybody know where I can get a switch from....looks to be a simple push fit.

Cheers

Motorworks - no point really in buying a new one. Can't remember which side the light switch is (my bike doesn't have one) but a used LH one is £38, right hand is £41.

Thanks for the advice...I think I will just leave the lights swithced on rather than fork out that amount.

Well if they're stuck on (rather than off) you're no worse off than an owner of a 2002-on bike on which there's no light switch.
