Brake light switch location

Thanks to all you guys in past posts I have been able to sort out my lack of brake lights by replacing the switch. I thought I would post to help others in the UK looking for the location of the switch, as it took me a while to find.
This is applicable to right hand drive cars.
The switch or mounting you can see to the right of the actual pedal is the cruise control switch.
The brake switch is behind the fuse panel in the passenger footwell. A bent shaft comes across the bulkhead from the pedal,behind the centre console, and the switch is mounted where the lever operates the master cylinder.
The switch is fed by one red and one white wire on spade connectors, and is mounted by two plastic "barbs" through a round hole.
Save yourself problems and break the old switch out using pliers, the new one pushes in dead easy. Do this with the brake pedal depressed as the switch self adjusts when the pedal is released. BE CAREFUL TO GET THE SWITCH THE RIGHT WAY UP!
Push the wires back on and bob's yer uncle.
Switch cost £8.75 including VAT from the local SAAB agent.
