Mirror puddle light replacement

Went looking on site and ran into the running board threads. I
want to replace my actual puddle light on passenger side. Just stopped working.

Is it best to stay OEM from Ford or anyone have luck at an automotive store or Amazon? They are led.

thanks

It looks like OEM would be over $70 for 1, and as low as $18 for a pair of aftermarket on Amazon. $50+/pair from some of the more known aftermarket brands. For what they are, aftermarket would probably be fine. The only concerns I would have would be longevity and light output. Some of the aftermarket options seem to be for those who want brighter lights, not something I would want. At least they are very easy to replace.

I haven't come across any other posts about this, hopefully someone that has tried the aftermarket type can advise.

Just an fyi. The stock puddle lights have a heat sink, the aftermarket do not. Mine are never on long so we shall see. They are also left or right side, so pay attention when swapping.
