halogen headlight questions

2014 bmw x1 sdrive28i, regular halogen headlights, a few questions if I may:

- I noticed there are 4 bulbs in the housing, and it's the small one hanging inside the high-beam ring, and it turns on during regular beam use. Is there a way to turn this off (to be clear, this is not the same as DRL, which I already turned off)? Also, is there a way to replace this bulb without taking off the entire headlight housing? Can anyone recommend a specific bulb that is less yellow, preferably 5-7K?

- I'm also noticing the headlight housing itself is hazing from the inside. Not sure how this happened, took a close look multiple times to make sure it's not happening on the outside surface. Is anyone else experiencing this, and is there anything I can do about it?

- Depending on the answer to the above question, if my only option is to replace the headlight housing, how exactly can I do this? Would I need to remove the bumper, something I'm reluctant to do? And can anyone recommend a place to get replacement headlight housing, oem or a high-quality generic?

Thanks in advance.
