There are three choices for the errors: 1. live with it. 2. code out the light check. 3. code the frm for lci. Option three requires an frm2 or 3.

Additionally, there are services offered to modify the original housing with different colors, add led AE's and "demon eyes", etc. With a little digging I'm sure you'll be able to find multiple examples.
That's not plug and play since there are additional steps to get them to work like OEM.
