05-06 sedan tail lights aftermarket replacment

Well Im fuming a little I got my some tail lights from 05 for my 03. I had them set ona bench in my garage, during some work I was doing i knocked one light off the table, it fell and cracked.
My question is light I broke was oem, light i found to replace it is oem replacment quality. Will this light be any diffrent from oem quality wise. if I have this light next to oem ones will you see diffrence beween the two. Thanx

i wasn't aware they even had an OEM replacement quality tail light for the 05-06. I would imagine people would buy that instead of OEM as the 05-06 lights are in much demand by the 03-04 crowd. I wouldn't mix and match to be honest with you...

OEM Replacement quality? Like an Ebay knock-off?

Im sure there will be a difference in craftsmanship? There's always a reason why those parts are cheaper than the OEM ones.

Only one way to find out....install them, post pics & show us.

yeah i personally wouldnt chance it with an aftermarket. If the one you broke was a used OEM, your probably going to see a difference between the other used one and a new aftermarket one. IMO, if you order an aftermarket make sure they have a good return policy just in case you decide you dont want it. Your probably best finding another 05-06 OEM one from a junk yard, if possible.

$188 for a new OEM part... my forum price...

Im not sure if $13 is worth it to me to have a possible inferior product...

I purchased OEM replacement headlights from ebay and the quality is NOT the same. Inferior compared to OEM. I would bet the light output is different between the two.

IMO, stick with OEM. Good luck

The LED's will be different I guarantee it, and they will look different when lit up
