My brake lights come on, but I am not happy about how much pressure I need to apply to the brakes before they come on... they should come on as early as possible and I would like to put a newer brake switch in if there is one.

Anyone have any ideas? Does VW use the same setup on their new cars and have a newer model pressure switch that might fit and be more sensitive?
