Default Light out sensor location?

Anyone know where the light out sensor is located in the B6? Specifically I'm looking for the headlight sensor. I wish to unplug it, as it is annoying my dashboard. =)

Thanks in advance.

Default Why not just fix the headlight?

There's probably not a sensor, more likely the current is monitored throughout the lighting system, and when the current drops below a set limit, the bulb is reported burned out by the cluster.

Headlight's are fine, I bypassed them with a relay when I put in new HID lighting.

I need a way to disable the alarm that kicks in when i turn the lights on in the dash.

Yes, the lighting system "current monitor", or as I was calling it a "light out sensor", is what I'd really love to find, so I can take an axe to it! (well, i'd be a bit more gentle, i just wanna disable the headlight monitoring).
