Warning light removal/replacement

I'd just like to know what the process is for getting into the instrument panel and pulling out/changing the warning lights. I'll be getting a 2nd set of wheels soon and I don't need an inaccurate (and expensive) TPMS because I check my own damn pressures every time I go out for a drive, and would like to pull the warning light so it doesn't annoy me.

Check out my DIY on disabling the indicator. It's easier to do it at the TPWS module then to do it in the cluster.

Well, not for nothing, but down the road I also plan on doing an a-pillar gauge and that'll probably set off an airbag light when the original is removed... so it's better to know now how to just remove the bulbs. :P

Removing the A-Pillar cover won't make the SRS unhappy (unless you disconnect the side curtain squib and turn the ignition on with it disconnected).

Here's a thread about how to change the color of the LEDs in the cluster that shows the details of removing and taking apart the cluster. All of the indicators are LEDs, so removing them means desoldering.
