Could you please tell me where can I the sensor beside the Toyota dealer?

" lamp failure sensor 89373-AC010 "

I took my car to auto shop, they swapped my good sensor, I didn't noticed until a year later, because I took my car home, tail light are not on...finally I found out that " bad lamp failure sensor ", but it's too late to come back to claim it...

Please tell me where I can buy cheaper than dealer( dealer = $328.00.

Thanks

I found the bulb sensor on my 1996 Avalon was not the problem. What was happening is the wiring for the brake lights was too heavy and when it rested on only the bulb connection it would be off and on intermittently. So I tucked it in and if it occurs again I will tie it.
