The VW switch has not been all that successful and several have had to replace it again in a fairly short time. Whether it is due to the switch or other factors is unknown. Here is an Amazon link if you want to try one. You will also need to change the terminals in the Packard loom.
The two prong switch needs a relay to duplicate the function of the 3 terminal switch but is a proven solution. It uses an inexpensive switch available almost anywhere. There is a conversion kit available at some of our vendors if you want something that is an easy install or for a bit less money and a bit of time you can buy a relay and switch and make your own.
Here is the 2 terminal switch conversion schematic if you want to make it. The relay socket can be eliminated if you wanted to make a small loom using ordinary wire and terminals. Using the bullet connectors the extra loom will plug right into the Packard brake switch plug.
