Default Broken\dimming rear led blinkers

Got a warning that one of my rear blinkers was not working, when I looked at it there didn't seem to be any problem. But after that the blinker started to be become dimmer and dimmer, now after a couple of weeks only a few of the lights work and they are really dim. Is it just to replace the entire light or can there be something else that is wrong? On the other side two leds has also given up but no warning in the dash. I noticed after the latest wash there was lots of water running from the rear lights when i opened the trunk, pretty sure that is not supposed to happen. The repair shop wants like 200 just to look at it... anyone else had this problem? (Btw the rear tail lights and brake lights work fine, its just the blinkers.)

Not sure what model year your car is, but a set of face lift rear lights cost 450 EUR and it’s a few minutes job. I’m sure you can buy a brand new piece for under $300 in the US, or maybe a used one in good condition for $200.

Magneti Marelli is OEM quality, have bought parts from them before and quality is superb, just an example: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F291929704445

I ordered some Magneti Marelli lights but the place removed the order after several delays stating they dont make them anymore.. they do seems to make them still but i dont know. So hard to find a reliable place to buy parts in EU.

But some sites say you need adapters some don't. Is the Magneti facelift not in need of adapters? I have the pre facelift with LED tail light (2010). I saw some scrap yard selling 2014 model, anyone know if they will fit my 2010?
