Question Fog lights on my Sonata?

Newbie here. Just bought my 2010 Sonota GLS and it doesn't have fog lights. Found some on line but need some help in installing them. Is there a secret in getting out the plastic pieces that fill the hole? After that what about wiring them up so they work? Any help would be appreciated.

you have to remove dash panel to remove dummy plug, harness connector should be near by

Thanks. I thought I could just wire them into the parking lights instead of thru the dash. Behind the plastic inserts in the grill is the wiring in place? Or do I have to invent a wire harness?

I got around to trying to install the fogs this AM. Got the plastic panel underneath the car pulled down and finally got the plastic insert out of the bumper. There is NO wire harness or wires of any kind for fog lights. Plus I could not work the new light into the hole. So after messing around trying every which way to insert the lights in the under-the-car- hole (not the front) I gave up. Hyndai wants $400 to install them. I called a few shops and they won't touch it without a harness.

Any other suggestions?

I looked into this the other day. I called my local Hyundai parts dept and they said it was expensive to install. It's not pre-wired or anything.

I can't find a listing on Edmunds for the fog lights option, so I have no idea what they actually cost to install. I just purchased my car and the guys want to re-negotiate. I'm thinking of asking for fog lights, or bluetooth.
