Hey Taynton,
you can use pretty much any wiper that fits...
Just take your old ones off when going to Crappy tire or wherever you are going and compare them to what they have.
Here's a link to a discussion about brands and sizes

and another one

Good luck

If you go to Canadian Tire, DON'T ask for any help. And if you do ask for help, DON'T tell them what kind of vehicle you have.
Their staff are trained to look for parts based on the model/make of vehicle, and because your L300 won't be in their database, they won't be able to tell you what kind of wiper can be used as a replacement. Lordco is nearly as bad.
That being said, remove your old wiper, measure the length, and purchase a blade of similar length. Most of them come with the different types of attachments in the package, so you shouldn't have any difficulty.
The fronts are longer than the rear. Your wiper is too long if it isn't touching glass at any point along its stroke (i.e. at the top of the window). If you use a wiper that is too long, it can wear out the weather stripping that hold the window in place and it generally damages the wiper sooner than normal because it's not gliding over the smooth surface of the glass.
