I never use my fog lights , and, i saw a few other SantaFe's with
louvered grilles in place of the fog lights ; will this allow more cool
air into the engine bay ? If so, is it difficult to remove the fog
lights ? Im all for getting more air into the engine bay.

Thanks, Dave

This air will never reach the engine bay. Behind the fog lamps is the
inside of the fender well.

 

But i could use flexible aluminum duct to get it into the engine bay.
Dont you think this would work good ?

 

I doubt you'd get any benefit worth the effort. You'd have to cut holes
somewhere else to get the air into the engine bay or try to do some crazy
routing to get in in front of the radiator. The front bumper cover
actually comes off fairly easily if you want to nose around. Pull the
headlamps, remove the plastic retainers, several 10mm bolts underneath,
four screws underneath, and two at the bottom of the fenders.

 

Ok..thanks. Ill have a peek .
