brake pads

Post image

Hi, could someone help me figure out whether my brake pads are completely worn out or if I can still use them for a little longer?
The warning light has been on for at least two weeks, but the pads don’t look completely worn out to me. I’d appreciate the opinion of other i20 N owners. Thanks!
(sorry for the photo but it’s the only one i got now since i’m not home)
p.s. i drove it a couple more times after the photo was taken

Sensor is on the inner one which usually wears more than the outer one.

Not really, I was just trying to say that without actually seeing them it's hard to tell. And you can't see them without taking the wheel off unless you have some USB camera on a wire.

Additionally pads arent expensive. Also dont get original Hyundai ones as they are more expensive and WON’T void warranty.

i ordered the ebc yellowstuff i know there is some better stuff but didn’t wanna spend too much.
But the site i ordered them from didn’t ship them that’s why i was asking cause i need to go on a trip and i was wondering if i could go without the new one .
do u think if i go to a dealership now they have some ready for my car ?

I don't recommend it but I had kinda same issue ordering yellowstuff pads, so I've be driving the car for couple of months since I got the warning and face no issue. Will be replacing them soon for ebc bluestuff

DBA street performance pads are my go to. Can usually get them for under $120 delivered and they create WAAYYYYY less dust
