Yeah real men need scratched wheels all around.

Open up the cluster and carefully desolder the surface mount LED and solder in a resistor that matches the resistance of the LED.

Or install new TPMS sensors and program them.

Or learn to ignore it and tell people it's the "burn rubber" light

I might actually do that since I've already put blue leds for the clock. I was thinking relighting the gauges anyway.

Although a resistor may not be necessary, since the internal resistance of a smd led is rated in milliohms. This is why the circuit is already has resistors and zener diodes, also to prevent eddy current.
