Brian, we sell them.  They are not a separate part but are part of the
windshield wiper arm assembly.  You would think they would be part of
the turnsignal assembly as Bob has provided the link to that on the BD
site.  However the lever for the switch is on this stalk but the switch
itself is on the wiper assembly.  I have the early version of this
without the rear wiper for $39, the rear wiper version is 251953519C01C
and that is $77.32.  However since you have the cruise control you are
probably going to need to get this unit from the dealer or a good used
one from someone as the cruise switch is built into the wiper control
arm.  Maybe your problem isn't the high/low switch.  Pmail me and I can
talk you through troubleshooting the system to be sure before you just
swap parts as that can get expensive quickly.
