    do you mean the lights on the dash is showing?
    if you have the pads with the wires coming from them? the wire brakes when they get low and makes the light come on.
    find the wires where they come from the pad to the harnes chop the wires off were they enter the pad and join and tape them together. bit butch but should do the job.

    I do not recommend disconnecting this warning. You may affect the BAs system.
