Well, I purchased the Professional Parts Sweden brand and it arrived defective.

Thinking of going with a different brand, any suggestions?

I see several other brands:
URO $100
Action Crash $155 - claims to be premium
Depo - $130
Carlights360 $175
Goldshrine $165
JP Auto $175
Vantage $225
TYC $232

ebay.de if you have a friend in Europe or can navigate in German. Plus E code lights! Shop for the double bulb, later years lights as there are some variations.
