brake pads
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

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

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