Small hole on back of headlight bucket
« on: June 23, 2024, 05:57:31 PM »
Anyone know what the small hole is for on the back of headlight bucket circled in red?

There was nothing going through it when I stripped it down. Only thing I can think it’s for the idiot light cable?

Might have been drilled by a PO for mounting a small toggle switch.
