The lamp cover is not OEM. You do not need to use the lamp cover if you don't want to. It is a purely decorative trim. The lamp assembly looks like the correct OEM lamp.
oh ok
IMO, I would recommend that you go with a OEM design light. The lamp is designed for a clear bulb, but you can put in any type of bulb that fits the mounting. If you use a amber bulb it may look nice but you maybe blinding on commiing drivers. You can also consider using a hyper white, or a PIAA high output bulb. I personally use HID for my low beam and fog lamps and I love the light it project. But that is just my .02
Wait... amber light is supposed to be not blinding coming drivers, right?
humm, I am not sure. But I would assume you can blind someone with any type of color bulb, it would depend on the reflector inside the lamp assembly. I know "fog" lamps have different reflectors and different lens than "driving" lamps. I believe the reason is that a Fog lamp will defuse and spread to a wider pattern and the light will not projecting as far as a Driving lamp.
If you are going to do it.
my dealer actually offered to install the fog light for my GLS for 450USD.Hooray! My Foglights finally just arrived. Ordered off e-bay a few wks ago. Beautiful, & well packed, original equipment pkgs too!
Now to find the time, weather, & energy to just mount them. Then next comes the task of trying to find a way to wire them in. I haven't looked up close yet, but I doubt there is stock wiring there to just plug them into on my GLS
I wonder where to put the switch? Or how to get the wiring through the firewall? I would like them to be powered on by the headlights circuit, but not sure how to do that either? Oh well, I guess it'll be an annoying, frustrating, time consuming process of discovery. Like I really need to crawl under there, and do this as a senior citizen, but I live in the hills & country, and any extra light is vital in the pitch black up here. Too bad Hyundai didn't offer these as an option on my GLS, Shame on them! :rant2:
