Default Will LED DRL's Cause Warning in Dash Guages?

2003 LS 430

I want to change my Highbeams/DRL's to LED's because i rarely use highbeams and dont really care for the yellow-tinted DRL's. I want to just plug-and-play some LED 9005's and be done with it. But i'm just concerned that the dashboard is going to nag me all the time when i start the vehicle because it thinks the front bulbs are out because since i didnt put in any in-line resistors or whatever.

Anyone have experience putting in LED 9005's into their highbeams without the resistors and know if its going to throw an error?

I did put LED's in mine but had to add canbus to them as they flickered pretty wild on their own. Nothing on the dash with or without the resistors. They still flicker a faint bit, pretty much unnoticeable with the naked eye but it's visible when looked at through a phone camera. Probably depends on the manufacturer, mine were off ebay. High beam pattern has changed dramatically, it's now lighting up good 50-60ft upwards and more centered.
