Bottom line up front, this is simply how to cover* your TPMS light easily and reversibly for a buck. Not even sure it warrants a post here, but maybe it'll help someone out.

Get some black vinyl window cling decorations.

Trim up a piece, this is about the size of a postage stamp.

Clean off the plastic of your instrument panel so there's no dust. Stick on the vinyl bit. It'll stay in place and is easy to remove if you get around to replacing your TPMS sensors or decide you want to see an annoying dash light again. Yes you could just use a hunk of tape. But this looks cleaner and won't leave gummy residue behind if you take it off. You don't even really notice it unless you are trying to see it.

*I have seen how to's describing taking the dash apart and putting tape over the light, or disabling the bulb, but this is the quick and easy way to (nearly) completely obscure the light, to the point of it not being noticeable anymore. Yes you can see some light bleeding around the edges, but it's about 95% less obtrusive, and that's good enough for me.
