LOOKS GOOD!! Who is manufacturer of the lamps? Just wondering who else sells them.
No name, but it would not surprise me if they are made alongside the Kia ones.

@RobertM did you happen to see any markings that would indicate the manufacturer?

The parts from Kia total $650 then you add the loom with relay, fuse and switch, 8 screws, zip ties and installation, installing the OEM parts would be over $700. I also noticed when the 2022 was announced there was a “coming soon” option for fog lights on the lower trims for I think $450 but that disappeared. Makes this $250 OEM-like option look like a steal! I have also noticed that the Tellurides that go to to the Middle East have fog lights on the lower trims. So I’m wondering if these parts on EBay could be the OEM parts that might also be outsourced and resold by Kia?

I looked and could not find any markings or manufacturer. I think they are made on the same line as the OEM kia just no markings.

They sure do look identical from the pictures. I am trying to get my hands and this eBay set it’s definitely a great set!

It’s honestly much brighter than I expected lol.
Is there enough room for a duel row led light bar to fit or only a single row because if a duel row will fit a RGB one would be awesome.
Is it hard to clean it off when it becomes dirty, I do like this idea a lot?
I do like the functionality that these LED light bars provide on my truck it wasn't a big issue to hide them as it is on the Telluride .
The mounting position on my truck any wind noise is too far back on the cab and she's well insulated.😁

On a side note I gotta say I do love driving down back roads with these on LOL😎

Hello, again. It has been a couple months since you did the install on these. So, decided to follow up with you. How is the performance?

Did you relocate the switch, or leave it as is on the steering wheel column?

I am hoping the sellers on eBay will have more stock soon. Still interested, but really don’t want to pay more. So, avoiding the OEM route. For now.

Very pleased with the look and performance. Still have the switch where it is. No issues.

LED fog and LED light bar done. I do apologize now but I completely spaced on taking pictures along the way. Everything said and done about 4hrs wiring and mounting. If anybody has any question please ask and I will try to explain on what I did to mount and wire.

Does anyone know where or if you can still buy the fog light kit online?

i reached out to the seller on 9/14/2021 this was the message i got from them

New message from: carpartsconnection.inc (55,460PurpleShooting Star)

Hi

We do apologize we do not have a estimated restock date. Restocking can take anywhere from 10 to 12 week. This would be an estimate coming from the manufacture, we cannot guarantee dates. You can follow us here on eBay to receive up to date notifications when stock is available! Please do contact us at any time, we are here to help!

CPC​



so i just decided to do it myself all in about $100 and about 4hrs of my time.

LED pod light
wiring harness
LED light bar

Thanks to the OP in post #40 if you look closely at the pictures i noticed that even though the telly didnt have the fog light option the bumper still had all the mounting points there. A quick home depot run and a little bit of amazon shopping and i got everything installed

I also received that same message. Couldn’t wait so I ended up buying everything separately. OEM Fog lights, new bottom plastic cover whatever it’s called that has the openings for the Fog lights and the switch to wire them to the battery. Looks 100% OEM 🥳👍 , The only thing that isn’t OEM is the switch. Too much of a hassle to figure it all out and too much money to get it to work. OEM bottom cover was around $110, and I was able to find each OEM Fog lights with some broken tabs which I repaired myself for around $70 each and $9 switch from Amazon. Couldn’t be happier. Here are some pictures. Took my time and since I had the front bumper I decided to install the mesh screen to protect the radiator. Spend less than $20 on the supplies screen roll and some black zip ties. 😁😎88D9A559-768B-4F86-A644-B66ADD174E44.webp6E1E0372-7251-4569-ABE8-FB3768DDB7E7.webp2C595265-D316-4291-B4F8-6902BF5DB97B.webpCADE6766-2D2C-421D-9F75-0EF45D4352DD.webp19E3627F-B3B5-4410-A88C-1E4122A0AC62.webpD7FF395E-B90F-4194-B59F-3EF0B9F95AA5.webp4DAB4CBC-4A52-4BE2-B8BE-F6FB3301C813.webp51A3727A-A09D-494D-859D-345ACF3E73FC.webp9DD35894-89B0-4875-9D97-FC953142E619.webp

Looks good! Like how you added the center light as well.👍 Lots of different options and it took me a few hours here and there as well. Probably safe to say around 10 hours taking my time : removal of bumper, replacing the bottom plastic cover, adding the screens to the openings to protect the radiator more, then wiring and finally installing the bumper back on. Took pictures of all the process too.
 
@Socal949 for the switch I did not want to drill any holes in the interior. What I did was I tapped low beam wire from the headlight for the fogs and high beam for the light bar. Yes I did want to be able to power them on/off independently but I did want to make any holes and run any wires into the cabin of the car. I didn't want to figure out how to wire into the factory fog light switch either. I can't even find the factory switch for sell

Makes absolutely sense. I didn’t want to drill any holes too but I did manage to find a few spots where you can run the cable without having to drill just takes longer. I opted though so I used the same method as another user here and did make a small hole to run the wires into the interior. But it’s definitely not noticeable. I mounted the switch to the fuse cover that way if I ever have to remove it or anything I just need to buy a new fuse cover that’s all. Didn’t feel like making a hole anywhere else where it could cost me more money in the long run. Here is a picture of where I ran the cable through kinda hard to see you would have to zoom into the picture but it’s the white connectorE61310FF-5643-484B-B40F-C3AF415510F2.jpeg
