Don't cut them. Where do they lead to?

Don't cut them. If you carefully follow them back through the firewall, and/or the fender.... eventually you'll see a connector. Just disconnect them at that point, this way, it leaves you the option of putting them back on.

You'd be surprised, as one man's extra wire hassle, can be another man's gold-mine.

Don't cut them, cuz you never know if one of them is 'live'.... and if it hits into metal while the car is running, you'll soon have other problems.
