In your highs? you have a bixenon so I think you are talking about your fogs, and you can just take out the bulb, thats what I did

it's easier to take the bulb out, imo. that light comes on with your parking lights. i'm guessing that and the sidemarkers share the same fuse.

He's referring to '03-'04 lights that have a small wedge bulb right next to the fog/high.

why would he be referring to the 03/04 headlights if he has an 07 coupe with 06+ projector housings?

yes, that is what i was talking about. fyi: it's called the city light (for future reference).

i had a difficult time getting to that bulb so i had to remove the headlight housings, which isn't too difficult in itself. if anyone, i bet redlude would have a tip on how to get that sucker out without taking out the headlights.

unless there is some other secret way of getting it out, follow these steps to take out the headlight housings:

I got to it by accessing the back of the headlight by turning the wheels and removing the 3 fender snaps. Then its just a matter of removing the cap, and manuevering your hand blindly into the city light location and pulling the bulb holder out by the wires. It involves alot of cursing so be ready for some frustation, or remove the headlights like Ahero suggested

I bet theres a fuse for it but the handbook doesnt list a diagram of the fuses and what each fuse applies to, otherwise that be soo easy to just pull out the fuse and end of story there ya know

I doubt there is a fuse for just the city light, but rather a fuse for the entire headlight assembly
