Here's a thread with a video. This car is an XK8, but the seat removal is essentially the same.

Hi Dan ,
The trick I always use with the brake lamp switch is to tie a piece of cotton thread to one of the studs before you undo the second nut , that way you can guide the new switch into position with ease with an assistant pulling gently on the thread you have attached to the replacement , works every time .
However , you have already removed the switch so try and feed a length of thread through the upper hole and tie to the top stud of the switch ,

Hope this helps ,

Nik
