You can purchase replacement switches for that fixture, but if you want to move up to LED, it's a good time to just swap out the whole lamp assembly.
Therer's all kinds of replacements out there. Amazon and Ebay are decent sources, or just stop at the RV parts department and see what they have. Obviously, you'd want something in a similar shape or at least large enough to cover the existing holes.
There's no magic to replacing them... They're held to the ceiling with just a couple of screws. There's usually several inches of slack wire behind them. If you are going to throw the old fixtures out, I recommend cutting the wire close to it. If you're going to save it for a spare, clip the wires a few inches away so you have enough to splice.
Then it's a simple matter of splicing the wires with some insulated crimp connectors and mounting up the new fixture.
