Default Foglight delete

Looking to switch my 2000 foglight NB grill to a non foglight model. After 3 smashed lights Im done, and I cant pass inspection if I have broken lights so its too expensive. How involed is this? Where can I buy the parts?

I'll GLADLY trade you my green no-fog grill for your fog-ready grill. As far as the wiring goes, I think you can just disconnect the lamps from the connecting harnesses, and tuck them away. I think I also have a non-fog light headlight switch if you want that too. I can even paint the valance black (no promises on clear coat) if you'd like.

oh, and well I suppose I should have said this too:

The valance just clips in. If you pull on it, it pops right out. Now if you need to disconnect the fogs before or AFTER you try and take it out, I'm not entirely sure. But once you remove the fog lights from their connections, I think they are screwed into the valance by 3 brackets with some phillips screws. undo that and they come out (I'd sell them on ebay or on here to someone who needs/wants one). I have non-factory fogs I have added and I'd love to retrofit them into an OEM fog valance.
