Hi all!
Deja vu. I replaced a bulb today and found that unused socket. I suspect its for
the red fog lamp that's a legal requirement in all European countries. Its a shame
we don't have them here - the tail lights are pretty dim at the best of times so I
imagine they're completely invisible in poor weather.
Cheers,
Graham.
