Default Dash lights & Switch

My interior dash lights (these are LED’s) have recently started to annoyingly constantly flicker.

First it was just the one bulb now several are doing it, by adjusting the dimmer setting they stop for a while then start flickering again.

Now I assume it’s the 30 year old dimmer circuitry that’s now malfunctioning and a new switch is in order.

As I always have all my cars dash lights set to maximum, I don’t care for or need the dimmer option.

Is there just a simply Porsche "on off" replacement switch that can be purchased or do I need to decommission the dimmer function on a new or on the old switch for that matter or can the dimmer element be by passed?

Regards
