What Are These?
I have had these on my front driver side and rear passenger side lights since i purchased the car. Was going to peel them off but decided to see if anyone know what they were first.

So cool the other two got stolen?

Is there a name for these mystery stickers, or is that all they are?

That is very strange... I'd have to agree either some sort of RFID tag for dealer to manage a large inventory (ie. Hyundai Dealerships!) or maybe a cell phone booster! HAHA. Just take that crap off!

Looks like RFID with an antenna. Possibly for auto auction use?

Probably a computer game decal / ICON / emblem thing
Unless there are metal conductors inside of it. In that case it could be an antenna for Aliens.

Confirmed, they are RFID Tag Antenna Inlays (see pic in above article ... looks identical). Hopefully it was the dealer and not DHS (they use RFID).

DHS have to use long range interrogators (two-way radio transmitter-receivers) to track these RFID tags, which could be cost prohibitive.
