Spare connector behind NS headlights?

[alinton]

While fixing my screen washer yesterday, which entailed removing the washer bottle (The pipe had got kinked) I found a spare connector hanging about in there, behind the headlamps.

Is it for anything or is it supposed to be redundant?

Thanks

redundant .
sounds barmy but was put in there for electric headlight hight adjustment, a thing that was never fitted to any of the models.

The electric headlamp adjustment is fitted to the light, it just doesn't go back to any device that can change the headlight angle, like a little rotary switch. I've often thought about trying to wire it in somehow (it's a standard Hella item), but I've never managed to find any info on what I need to do.

I always thought the little knob on the lower part of the dash pod/surround thing did healight adjustment and mine didn;t work as never noticed anything happen, not sure what that knobs for?

The little knob to the left of the steering wheel does the dash lights, the little knob to the right of the steering wheel does the intermittent wash wipe speed change.

Well that connector is hanging loose behind the lights in my car. I couldn't see anything that it might connect to.

Is there a knob to the left? Not seen that one...

No, but in my experience there's usually knob just before the steering wheel that often needs adjustment.
