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.

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.
