You can get these switches from Jetta trunks in junkyards. The cool thing about the Jetta switches is that the buttons are notched so that when you open the slider and you don't want the light on, you push the button in and up and the button stays in and light stays off. When you close the slider, it resets. Sorry I don't remember what years Jetta it came from but if you have access to ETKA you can prolly find it.
