I don't think fitment is a problem, but I heard the colour of the tail lights can be off.

So if you replace only one side, one would be a different shade than the other.

This is from what I heard; not 100% sure.

Where did you get them for this price? A website or your local dealer?

If your replacing the one, get OEM because you WILL notice a huge difference in color and such. I can get you a new side for $105 shipped. Depo will be around $60-$75, so I would highly recommend getting the OEM one.
