Fog light conversion

Anyone know of a simple method or if possible to convert the fog lights to something else such as under glow. Fog lights have a switch so thought I would be an easy conversion for a secondary accessory. Recently wrecked my front bumper due to ice on the road and need to replace the bumper. Was going to switch from my msport to a m bumper and do a fog delete opening up the wiring. Any insight is greatly appreciated

Unless you really want to have the M3 style bumper (aftermarket, not perfect fit-up) you can do fog delete with MSport by using the OEM shrouds/inserts without fog light openings. Pre LCI cars with blue M brakes came without front fog lights.

Not 100%. Have 17’ msport with fog lights. When I was on Kiesmotorport the difference in price was like $10 so was considering it

Being 2017 Model Year, your car is LCI (the facelift "Life Cycle Impulse" version). The LCI update started as 2016 MY in 2015 and the front fog lights were included from factory.
The only pre-LCI M-Sport F30s that came with front fog lights were the ones that had regular calipers or grey 4 pot Brembo (340 mm) calipers. The pre-LCI cars with Blue (370 mm) Brembo calipers never had front fog lights, afaik.
