69 442 interior mirror light

I'm looking for any info for my 69 442 interior rear view mirror light switch.
This is the little slide switch that is located in the bottom of my rear view mirror.
I have searched the electrical forum and I haven't found any info.
Your help in locating info on this switch will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Jerry

What information are you looking for?

It's not really a switch, so to speak. The insert portion of the light assembly slides side-to-side and a copper spring metal tab contacts the end of the power lead that sticks down into the mirror housing.

I'm looking to find the housing whatever it is called. Mine has disintegrated in my hands. The little housing that holds the bulb. I have power on the little post that the "switch" contacts

Yeah, that plastic is kinda fragile. One side of mine broke and the lens is what's holding it together now.

There's an entire mirror for sale on the forum now.
