Default Removing dash bulbs.

I recently added long tubes to my car. Along with that I removed my cruise/asr. I also plan on ditching the abs when I add a line lock. So I took out my gauge cluster and used a soldering iron to pull the abs/tcs/skipshift and low traction lights. I was just wondering if this will have any effect on the car. Will it throw any codes or anything?

one question. you stated you used a soldering iron to remove them. why didnt you just remove the plastic cover and pull the bulbs out?

There are main bulbs that just twist out, but for many of them there are smaller bulbs that are soldered to the board.
