Are they the correct wattage for the car?

I'm just guessing here, but it's possible that the indicator comes on when it senses a higher wattage... thinking it's the high beams.

Any of you upgraded your bulbs?

Not personally but the car does use a wattage sample to determine if the high beam is on or not. Also if the wattage is too low the service vehicle light comes on. At least that's what I've been told.

As long as the lights still brighten and dim properly I don't know if anything cam be done about it. Just don't blind people because you can get bulbs that are absurdly bright, but not street legal.

Now that's dumb, IMO. ^

Just a quick check though: if you replace the Euro bulbs with the stock ones, does the problem go away?
