    Are these really $30 each?! Anyone know of a cheaper place to source them from?

    3200-1 printed on the switch and I believe Kenworth's part number is K295-362-1.

    That's cheap, I wouldn't care about $30, how often do they get replaced?

    Let me see ... a switch to turn on a light is not the same as an air switch that operates some safety critical or operational critical function on a 80,000lb vehicle.

    I would think that spending $30 to ensure proper functioning on a truck is a cheap way to go.
