Question Eliminate fog lights...what to do with holes?

I need some creative ideas here.
One of my fog lights is broken, it's not on the truck, and the other is old and needs replacement. I"M CHEAP being an old man, and I'm thinking of just eliminating them. So... I was wondering what I could put in the holes rather than just have empty holes.
#1. A yellow smiley face ball in each?
#2. A rubber hand coming out?
#3. Paint eyes above each one?
#4. Paint hair above the eyes...maybe one with red hair the other blonde?
#5. Or, like one of the smilies to the right?
Any and all ideas are welcome...having some fun with this will be okay!
Signed,

I like the smilie idea, like the hella covers. Or if you wanted to you could use one to run cool air to your intake. Use PVC piping to the airbox/intake. Little performance help is always a good thing right?

Just a few thoughts from a tired gnome

could run dual CAI intake ports, lead them to a T fitting and straight into an airbox, filter, then the throttle body.

I would think too much dirt, sand, water, and other stuff would get the intake being right there. I would be cool, but not pratical for a dd

how so?, same concept of ram air except with like 7 feet of tubing from the fog light ports to the throttle body. i know its not a real ram air but same idea.
