I have purchased fender garnish lights that fit in the stock location on the foreign Cadenza models. I imagine that the foreign fenders have cutouts for the trim/garnishments. Does anyone know where I can buy the fenders with cutouts? Trying to cut them out in nearly impossible, especially if you want proper fitment. Thanks.

Does it need more than a hole for the wiring?

Yes, it looks like a hole the shape of the garnish is required, it has tabs/clips around the garnish.

Did it include a templet? If it did a body shop should be able to cut it out.
Maybe you can make a templet. mark the templet lines on the fender and use a nibbler.
Put painters tape on fender first then nibbler will not mark paint outside the lines.

I imagine this could fit into the fenders that have the garnish. You could order it, but I'd try cutting it yourself before going that expensive route. Takes some nerve though! Good luck and keep us updated, would love to see pics installed on the car.

The 2015 and newer SXL Cadenza models have the fender garnish already installed, so the fenders with the holes are readily available. The garnish is identical to those lights you purchased...except the garnish on the US models does not light up...just a fender bling of sorts.

I have the SXL and recently had it in the body shop (attached a pic of before it was fixed...you can see the factory garnish). They had to reorder the fender because the first one that came in did not have the pre cut holes for the garnish. Once they received the correct fender, the garnish just popped in.

You can find the correct fender here...about $180 per fender.

Outstanding! This is what I need! I have cutout holes for fender vents in my conversion van and it is difficult to say the least. At first I used a grinder, then grinding wheel, and eventually air chisel. Body guy tried using his plasma cutter and it burnt the paint. It's tough. Just going to by new fenders and have them painted. Thanks for advice everyone.
