Brake wear sensor help

So after doing some research on here it seems I have to put my brake wear sensors back in if I want that light to go off. I have a two wire sensor so I'm assuming the lack there of is causing the light on my dash.

My big questions is where is the best place to pick up a full set of these? Thanks guys. This forum has helped me a great deal in my journey with this car.

On my old E55 I just unplug the old sensors and plug in the new one. I'm doing my brake also this weekend. Replacing the E63's rotors and pads with Evosports rotor and Porterfield R4-S pads. I hope this is a good combo.

The screeching could just be some debris caught between the pads. I know on my car the fronts really didn't need replacing due to wear but the rotors were getting a little warped and I just could not stand the stock pad brake dust.

For the sensors as was posted above, if they are still functioning (no light on your dash indicates to me they are) then just swap them over to the new pads. Its really very easy.
