If they are fitted they must work, but not compulsary to have them fitted.

I recently removed my front fog lights and replaced with smoked lenses without fog lights. Although my front fogs were not tested when I took it for MOT.      Cheers     Deano

You could look at Mk4 type headlights and do away with the in bumper indicator/fogs completely!

Front fog lights are not part of the mot, you will need to relocate the indicators to your headlamps which can be tricky unless like Len suggested you run mk4 style headlamps.

The other thing to think of is the towing hitch between fogs and indicator.
