What to do with the front directional light after installing euro front bumper

Hello
I converted the front bumper to euro bumper and decided to stay only with the fog light (the front "directional light" go away..)
So my question is:
1. how do I remove the directional light without getting a warning light in the dash?
Should I cut the wires close to the "directional light"? If I do that am I going to have a warning light?
should I keep the wires connect to the bulbs and hide it somewhere?
any advise will be great appreciated

If pulling the bulb will trip the warning light, maybe make a dummy by soldering a resistor into a broken bulb.. Converting to LEDs can cause problems from low resistance, there is probably a work around available from one of those suppliers.

"super bright led lights" lists load resistors for $4.95 each, Looks like they have leads from either end so could be hooked to a terminal and stashed anywhere you want.
