The bulb can be simply pulled out quite easily. If you change to LED city lamps, as I have, you will need a W5W socket to trick the computer into thinking that the regular incadescent bulb is still present. There is no way to reset the computer to deactivate the bulb-out warning system.

As long as it's a regular incadescent bulb, you won't have any problems. However, you'll have a tough time finding an incadescent bulb which is anywhere close to the same colour as the Bi-Xenons. They all end up being extremely greenish/bluish in my experience.
