Headlight switch

I have to replace my headlight switch but the stealership wants too much for a new one. Anyone got any suggestions on a cheaper replacement?

I tried to clean it but the contacts were so bad ly corroded that they still wouldn't make sufficient contact. I used very fine sandpaper and conact cleaner to try to smooth the contacts out but still not good.

The Nissan place here says they can order one for $65. I was hoping to find one cheaper. Internetautomart has one for $77.

30 bucks + shipping, are you in? If you are, then give me a post, I can get the part for you, not new though, but I will check its condition for you.
