Neutral/Park/Backup Light Switch

I need a neutral/park/backup light switch for my 1988 VW (Rabbit) Cabriolet
Convertible with automatic transmission. Please note: Automatic
Transmission, not Manual.
This switch is located inside the center console just below the gear shift
selector. It has a group of 6 (I think) brass protrusions that act as switch
contacts, in 2 rows of 3 contacts.

I also need the black plastic lightbulb holder that illuminates the little
P,N,R,D,1,2 symbols on the console. This lightbulb holder is located inside
the center console and to the left of the gear selector as you face forward.

Anyone know where I can find these items?

Thanks

    http://www.newdimensions.com/ often has items the dealer can no longer
    find. Their prices are good too.

    Unfortunately that website tells me that "the catalog is temporarily
    unavailable". I seem to remember that same message from them several weeks
    ago. O, well.

    Use eBay’s own advanced search, it allows you to search by seller. See:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33595&item=797...

    then look at seller’s other auctions.

    Thank you very much, Randolph, and thank you, Eduardo, as well. I’ll contact
    that person directly now that I know how. He doesn’t have that switch listed
    on any of his auctions, but maybe he has the part.
