Nope. Mine still works just fine. Both of the front two (right above my mirror; I have the SR5) and the one right between the cab and removable top still work.

i was told the dome light stops working if you remove the buzzer i think, so modding the buzzer would keep it their but for the dome light but get rid of the annoyance

When I meant modding, I meant getting one from another car that's a little more "pleasant" to the ears and mod it to work in place of the stock one.

I don't know how durable those will be, also, it will be very important to pay attention to which wire is going where, one will be backwards to the other.
ask me how I know
