    6402214A-CC1A-4910-86BE-72A3BF2BEC39.jpg OK so I’m doing the new LED upgrade on my headlights and I just noticed this plug and I cannot figure out if it’s a extra plug or what goes plugged into it. Can anybody help me out?

    Is there another plug like that on the other side? Also, what headlights are you upgrading to?

    There is a plug that isn’t used when upgrading to the OEM headlights. The harness I’ve seen on here from a member has a plug for it to keep it water tight

    It’s the wiper fluid level sensor. @caribe makaira answered this previously.

    @caribe makaira, did you remember the part number? I can try to source some matching males to plug it up.

    I think there's no matching connector, hence why it's left uncovered. But I could be wrong.

    You could un-pin it, and use matching turn signal connectors or any matching ones. It uses 090/2.3II sealed terminals.

    Thanks. I was mostly trying to help out other OCD people with a quick cap. I’ll do some googling in case I stumble on something.

    I believe it’s been attempted and not successful. Definitely a thread.

    I think it would be helpful if somebody with a Canadian truck can upload a picture of the section to see what it’s connected to
