It's look like LED decoder (if you have LED high bean - DRL)

I remember when I was installing my intake heat shield I was going to remove this. Once I started to loosen the bolts I could hear and feel a lil static discharge so I quickly tightened it back down and chugged my beer lol. I never found out what it is but I'm sure you need it. Caption in ur picture top corner makes sense to me since I have HIDs and it is right buy the housing.

My '06 2IS came from the factory with HIDs; that black box was not part of the vehicle's lighting systems.
