Why should I choose this budget LED version over the original Vanagon side marker light?

The original German side marker lights are often very expensive and hard to find. This budget LED replacement offers a cost-effective solution that still provides a significant upgrade. You get the benefits of modern LED technology – brighter light, longer lifespan, and no bulb to burn out – at a fraction of the cost of sourcing original parts.

Is this LED rear side marker lens easy to install? What all comes in the kit?

Yes, installation is designed to be straightforward with our direct-fit approach. The kit includes the sealed LED lens, a wiring harness adapter, mounting screws, and easy-to-follow instructions. You won't need to drill any new holes, as it uses the existing mounting points on your Vanagon's body.

How does the size of this budget LED side marker compare to the original one?

This budget LED side marker has a slightly smaller footprint where it meets the body than the original, but it uses the same mounting locations, so no new holes are needed. It does extend out from the side of the van a little more than the original part. We've included additional photos to help you visualize this subtle difference.

Do I need one of these for each side of my Vanagon, and are they the same for left and right?

Yes, you will need one LED rear side marker lens for each side of your Vanagon, so you'll need to purchase two. They are designed to fit either the left or the right side, making them interchangeable.
