It's almost never necessary to bleed the brakes after changing the switch. The only exception would be if someone stepped on the brake pedal while the switch was removed, or perhaps if the car sat for some extended time with the old swtich removed before installing the new one. That said, if the pedal is anything less than firm you should bleed them. Very simple to remove and replace the switch (SL-134 from NAPA), just remove the wires, unscrew the old one, screw the new one in and reattach the wires.
