M3 Style front bumper

I have a 2012 sport 328i that I want to convert the bumper into an M3 style one. I am looking at one of the 2 ebay sellers below. I have read that people generally have no issues installing them. This may sound stupid but I do not want fog lights on the new bumper do I just disconnect my current fog lights (and how?). Thanks.

yeah, you just disconnect the harness and tie it to something. You will probably have to code the fog light option off otherwise you will get the dash warning that the light bulbs are out.

I didn't change my bumper - just added a lip - but I did remove my fogs and replace the grilles.

Mine are still attached but zip-tied up inside out of the way...
