Stop light switches on aircooled VWs are all in the same place--screwed into the master cylinder--so this goes for all of them. First, find the master cylinder. It's bolted to the firewall, in front of the brake pedal--which means it's behind the driver's side front tire. The thing with the big black rubber electrical plug plugged into it, is the stop light switch. A car with dual-circuit master cylinder has two switches. You pull the plug, unscrew the switch with a big crescent wrench, screw in a new one, snug it down and plug the plug into it. And then comes the most important part--bleed the whole brake system.
