Narrative:

On take off, after gear retraction the gear disagree gear doors caution messages appeared on the EICAS. Also, the amber doors and gear lights adjacent to the gear lever handle. We recycled the gear down to a normal 3 green indication. We cycled the gear up and had the same indications as before...EICAS messages gear disagree gear doors. Also, amber lights doors gear adjacent to the gear handle. We conferred with maintenance foreman and elected to return. We had a normal ILS approach (VFR) and had a overweight landing which we discussed with maintenance and followed the procedures outlined in the QRH-fom. I made a smooth uneventful landing. Gear indication was a normal 3 green (down).
