This switch is made by Corvette America.
I do not know where they manufacturer them.
I know they make a lot of their parts in PA.

Is this what an original one looks like. With chrome letters and a chrome border. I have a repo which letters look different. Never seem an original one.

It looks correct (to me) and it works very well. That's a very good thing because the old one broke in many pieces when I took it out! There is no "slop" in the new switch and the range in motion is very direct! The only issue now is that because the new switch works so well, it looks like I now need to rebuild the headlight motors!
