Hello everyone, I have a 2001 Santa Fe and both fog lights recently burned out. I've been pricing them on the internet and can't find 'em for less than $105. Is it the case that they are only sold as a fog light 'kit,' and that you can't just buy a replacement lamp for the housing?
Also, I just had to replace the transmission on the car this past spring. It had approx. 80K on it at the time. I was a bit surprised that it needed replacement at this point, as I have always maintained it well...You now, oil changes, got the timing belt & water pump replaced as part of overall maint., had the transmission fluid flushed and replaced last fall, etc. Is this typical for a Hyundai? I love the car, believe me. But I guess I was expecting it to at least make it to 100k before having to face replacing it.
Anyways, I have a great mechanic who did a wonderful job putting in the new/used one and the car runs great again. But I'm determined to exhaust every avenue to try and avoid paying two hundred bucks for a couple of darn fog lights, lol! Unless you all tell me it's a lost cause, in which case I will bite the bullet and pay for 'em. I was also thinking of heading out to a junkyard and seeing if there's a totaled out Santa Fe that might have a couple of fog lights I can pull.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance, MJ
