There is no guarantee that a cheap key from eBay will be physically the same.
As Roger says it is easy enough to get the key recut and I have heard it is possible to take the immobiliser chip out of the old key and put it in the new key.
The remote itself is possible to reprogram at home.
An alternative is you buy a new key with remote, remove the key and just use the remote, then use your old key in the ignition.

I bought a supposedly genuine Suzuki key from an eBay shyster. The blade had the wrong profile and the plastic bits were thinner and brittle. The only bit I was able to use was the cover with the Suzuki badge. They don't call it the Bay Of Thieves for nothing!
Regarding the intermittent full beam indicator, mine had this too, plus the air bag light had the same issue. Its 2 x screws to remove the instrument cluster bezel, (which is a pain to squeeze out as the steering wheel can't be tilted down) then IIRC its pretty easy to get behind the cluster and find the loose plug. Can't remember if i took the cluster out as well or reached behind. IIRC, the plug for high beam is basically behind where the light itself is on the cluster. I was expecting to pull half the dash apart to fix mine but found it unexpectedly easy.
