I have found a source for the fog light trim and fog light housing. These products are brand new and are genuine Kia/Hyundai parts. This does not come with the wiring kit, however it may be available, I did not ask. If anyone is interested please dont hesitate to ask questions about the seller and the shipping process.
By the way installation was fairly easy, approx 35min, however i could not get the top screw in on the passenger side due to the washer fluid container. Install pictures were impossible due to the cramped space, all my pictures came out blury. You will need six screws for the fogs.[/quote]
How did you find access to the bumper bar to fit the fog lights, did you take off the plastic surround that fits beneath the radiator?
I did take off a few screws to loosen the plastic beneath the fog light area. it flexed back enough to fit the fog light in. like i said the passenger side was tough just fitting the fog in.
I finally got my new foglights for my Forte and man what an ordeal to fit them especially when you don't have a hoist and have to use the Kerb and footpath to aid in getting underneath car to fit the lights.
There's only 3 screws to remove old faceplate but getting at them is the pits, I have one blooded nose and hand to prove it.
Actually installing new faceplate wasn't to bad once you lined the screw holes up but linning up the 4 screws that hold the actual foglight inplace was the hardest and especially when you have the washer bottle in the road. I ended up removing washer bottle as it's almost impossible to get one screw in with bottle inplace.But now it's all done they look great it takes the blandness out of the front view of the car
Thanks Bradley.
Yes thats the stock grill on the base model here , it's the S Model the SL and Sli have the Chrome surrounds, although they might have changed it on the 2010 model.
I finnished my lights late last night now I'm waiting for the wiring harness to arrive, I might have to get an adaptor as the wiring harness only has spade lugs.By the way I put some red pin sripe on my grill and rear bumper> I also darkened the rear lights.
Hi Bradley mine came with 881 lights too, the trouble most aftermarket wiring harness'e come with spade light connectors. I finally found the proper 881 conectors today, foglights will be in tomorrow
