We’re you able to find a switch for the brake light? There is a wire that sends the signal from the hand brake and I believe it’s different than the foot one. Thanks much!

It's just a factory KTM clutch master and even the brake line is available from KTM as a left hand brake conversion part. Not sure what part numbers they are but they might be listed in the link strider mentioned above.
 
We did some experimentation with the LHRB kit from Alta here at the dealership on a 2019 EXR. To retain the brake light switch, we tried plumbing the LHRB line into the same connection as the line from the foot brake pedal. The increased pressure from both levers blows the site glass out of the master cylinder. We learned this the hard way.

We've heard about this before. This is a leaky bottom seal on the insert. Either a bad seal or a bad installation.

Alta engineers had the same problem too. This is why they chickened out and decided to not offer a LHRB that retained the brake pedal. Rekluse and Clake have been offering their LHRB for years, so it is not a design problem. It is an execution problem.

Also, the two pressures never combine, it is either one or the other.
