TPMS light

New member here. I bought a 2008 F250 6.4l in 2011. The guy I bought it from had put aftermarket wheels on it but never replaced the tire pressure sensors. Although the idiot light bothered me a little, I never really did anything about it. I don't really care to buy new sensors so I was wondering if there is a way to get the light to go off permanently without cracking open the instrument panel and removing the light itself. I have a H&S programmer that has the option to delete the TPMS but for some reason it will not allow me to do so. Anyone have any good suggestions?

I never put any sensers in the replacements tires of my 2011 F350 that I bought new in 2010.

The only effect was an error message a few times every three or four months.

However, when I rolled over 100,000 miles this year, I got a different tpms error every time I started the truck.

About a month ago, I finally replaced my oem headlight bulbs with led bulbs.

After I put in the led bulbs, the tpms error message has never cone on again

so......put led bulbs in your headlights. You’ll get better headlights, and no more messages.

Thanks for replying. I did install led headlights in the truck a couple of weeks ago but that did not change anything. I've upgraded my interior lights to led as well.
