Nothing, or at least that's what it seems. I'll check tomorrow to see if it is for the driving lights (the older owner took the lights, but the relay is still there).

It seems familiar, I think it's a early Toyota Celica Popup light switch. But I could be wrong!

It is indeed for the driving lights, it looked too factory for that, so and old owner obviously went to a lot of trouble finding it.

According to the symbol, it appears to be some sort of adjustment for the lights.
Dont expect mere proof to sway my opinion.

Actually a Maverick.
A speed camera would have prevented that!

Must activate the horizontal defribulator

I haven't looked at how standard the wiring looks, but it is definately for the driving lights.
Next time my head is under the dash I'll try and remember to have a look, but it'll probably just be a single wire pushed through the firewall in a dodgy manner.
