I have had multiple experiences with aftermarket light assemblies for vehicles I've worked on or rebuilt. I can say without a doubt that you will waste your money going aftermarket with light assemblies. They are not the same specs, quality, or fit as OEM and you will be spending more re-purchasing than just doing it once with OEM.

I learned the hard way, don't follow in my foot steps. There are sites that sell factory OEM products assuming the vehicle is recent or a collectible vehicle. There are also salvage yards with rear end collision vevhicles that were totaled out and part out the vehicles.

I know its more expensive but in this case (moisture getting inside the light assembly, yellow discoloration from poor plastic), spend the extra money.
