Illuminated Front Toyota Emblem Badge Delete?

I don’t understand poverty buttons. One of the biggest reasons I went with the TRD Off-Road upgrade package was to avoid the sea of blank switches. Honestly, I don’t get why Toyota leaves them there if the feature isn’t included. Why tease us with the empty spots? Even with the off-road upgrade package, there are still empty buttons. It was actually one of the main reasons I upgraded trims in the first place. At the time, I didn’t even care what the buttons did, I just didn’t want to be taunted every day by reminders of what I could’ve had. I’m not even sure what features I’m missing out on. Now that I actually go off-road with the truck, I use the accessory wiring and axle lock, but somehow I still only have the one button on the main console. How much do you actually have to spend to not be reminded daily of what you missed? And what features am I even missing out on with this package?

Hey y'all

I’ve got a 2025 Tacoma TRD Offroad with the illuminated badge package and honestly I’ve decided it’s not my favorite.

I’m thinking about just deleting it completely and going with a Pro style grille instead.

For anyone who’s done it already
How tough was the install?
Did you run into any sensor or wiring issues?
Do you think it’s worth the swap?

Curious to hear your thoughts and see how it looks on other trucks before I try to do it myself.
