Default Es300 AVS strut delete?

Hello, I am looking for advice. I recently bought a 2001 Lexus ES300 with the AVS adjustable suspension. The struts are bad and I want to know if it is possible to replace them with standard non-electronic struts? (The electronic ones were about $2400 for all four) I know they’ll bolt in, but is there a way to install a resistor or something to fool the computer to avoid the warning lights? It’s a five-wire connector. Worst case I’ll just ignore the lights but I’d like to avoid that if possible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Shouldn't have to do anything unplug the adjuster ****/switch that's it. Worst case you remove the warning bulb from the cluster but don't think it's necessary.
