Which Brand Combination Switch (Turn Signal, High Beam) Is The Lesser Of The Evils?

The high beam indicator light is suddenly now always on in my roommate's 1991 W126 350SDL whenever the headlights are on. When the stalk is pushed forward, the indicator light gets a little bright and one headlight gets a little brighter. When pulled back in flash to pass position, the lights get a little brighter, as does the indicator light.

Anyway, a genuine Mercedes combination switch (1265453124) is $302 MSRP. Not going to happen. The other brands (which are in the $60-$80 range) I've seen are as follows: URO, Meyle, Febi, MTC, and SWAG. The problem is, URO and Meyle have a reputation for being junk. Febi seems to often be a reboxer of random brands. I thought MTC was good, but it seems that most of the switches I see for sale list the brand as being URO/MTC like it's one and the same? I've not heard of SWAG before.

Which brand should he get? Has anyone here had success or failures regarding new combination switches?
