Aftermarket replacement turn signals (03 LTD)

[Montego Murph]

I need to replace my driver's front turn signal/DRL assembly. Mine seems to be filling up with water. It's the square one down low with the fog light combo, early 2003 LTD.

Is there any reason I should not just go with one of these? The OEM is $41, these are half that.
I figured someone might know if they fit perfectly or fall apart after 2 years...

I don't have any experience with any or either of the two aftermarket lights you posted..BUT the first one only has a 1 year warranty, the second has a 3 year warranty but costs $6 more, but still cheaper than OEM, do you know what the warranty is for an OEM set?

That's a really good point I hadn't considered.

It looks like OEM Toyota part #81511-35401 is $40.97 with a 1-year warranty.

Assuming nobody comes back with a really bad review and Choice B fits well, that looks like the better choice. Thanks for giving me that point of view, Goldseeker!

Make sure you order the correct turn signal assembly. The second link you posted is for non-DRL models, you initially described it as a turn signal/DRL so I'm assuming yours has DRLs. Although either will bolt on to the bumper,the bulbs are totally different (non DRL = 7440 type bulb,. DRL = 3157 type bulb)

Good catch Ed!

Here's a link to the ones with DTRL, same price.
