At CarParts247 we stock OEM and aftermarket light options from trusted manufacturers so you can compare prices, check fitment by make and model, and order with confidence.

Common light failures

Like all wear items, light components degrade over time. Recognising the early signs of failure helps you avoid breakdowns and costly secondary damage.

Unusual noises (squealing, grinding or rattling) when the light is in use

Reduced performance, sluggish response or intermittent operation

Dashboard warning lights or error codes related to the light bulbs system

Visible wear, cracks, leaks or corrosion on the light or surrounding parts

Vibration or uneven operation that worsens under load

Causes of wear and damage

Several factors accelerate light deterioration. Understanding these helps you choose the right replacement part and extend its service life.

Normal wear from everyday driving and mileage accumulation
Harsh environmental conditions: road salt, moisture, extreme temperatures
Delayed maintenance or exceeding manufacturer service intervals
Fitment of incompatible or low-quality replacement parts
Driving habits: aggressive use, heavy loads, frequent short trips

Diagnostics and inspection tips

Before ordering a replacement light, a quick inspection can help confirm the diagnosis and ensure you select the correct part first time.

Visually inspect the light for obvious damage, wear marks or fluid leaks
Check the OE/OEM part number on the old component for an exact cross-reference
Use your vehicle registration or make/model/engine to verify fitment
Compare symptoms against the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide
If in doubt, have a qualified mechanic carry out a diagnostic check

Replacement and fitting advice

Replacing light parts at the right time keeps your vehicle safe and can prevent more expensive repairs down the line.

Follow the manufacturer's recommended service interval for replacement
When replacing light components, inspect adjacent parts for wear at the same time
OEM parts match original specifications; quality aftermarket alternatives can offer savings
Always torque fasteners to the manufacturer's specification during fitting
After fitting, test the system thoroughly before returning the vehicle to normal use

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if light parts fit my car?

Use your vehicle details (make, model, engine) to confirm fitment before ordering light parts. Matching the exact engine variant helps you choose the correct part first time.

OEM vs aftermarket light: what's the difference?

OEM parts match the original equipment specification. Aftermarket parts from quality brands are compatible alternatives that often meet or exceed OE standards at a lower price.

How can I find the OE number for light?

Check the part on your vehicle, your service history, or manufacturer documentation for OE/OEM reference numbers. Cross-referencing OE numbers is the fastest way to find compatible parts.
