Looking to fit savage type switches for my head and side lights, any recommendations?

Cheapest i can find is atozautostyling on ebay.
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

I'm going to start looking for alternatives. Savage switches look nice but certainly not worth the money.

Look identical to Savage Switches. Probably from the same manufacturer!

I've heard more than a few comments about the Savage switches and how they 'feel' a bit cheap - certainly that they feel cheaper
than they look anyway.
The Cateringvan ones are supposed to be much better - but have a price tag to match - so any quality alternatives would be good to find.

I agree with Ben......I fitted them to my build and wish I hadn't. They do look good, but are not great quality.

Annoyingly the caterham ones look the same from behind. Weak plastic bodies and unobtainable plugs.

I bought some for my build. Ended up selling them and went for rocker switches which are much better quality.

I'm pretty sure they are an APEM A1 Series switch. http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0dd8/0900766b80dd8afc.pdf
They are £9.50 through RS if you know anyone who has a business account http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/push-button-switches/6915494/?
RS don't seem to stock the entire range, they are probably available for a similar price (RS are normally quite expensive) through an APEM
distributor.
