Found this socked / plug this weekend while relocating my EDIC relay .. ( higher after the last swimming experience ) but have no idea what it is ..

Suspect some kind of work light to be connected there ?

BTW was in Tencha ..

It goes inside the glove box. It was for a work light that came with the tool kit.

It actually sits under the dash ,in a 60 series. RHS in a LHD cruiser. Close to the footwell cover.Always power on that plug.

Depends what your needs are.Do not expect that it will light up a airplane 5km up.But it's useable under the bonnet.I still have the OEM lightbulb in it.

It was probably acceptable in 1967 when it was designed for the 40 series . It might be ok with an LED light plugged in. I wonder whey the 7* series didnt get one?

Like your thinking Rosco, i put one in a while ago , the plug sits inside engine bay behind batteries, and threw in a 24v led, I even added a wire mesh to one side of lamp cage , to reduce glare in the eyes.
Where the plug sits now it can access inside to the front, underbody, and of course engine bay itself, it's a little ripper, although the little hook on the end of the lamp does hook up on everything, but it's been definitely worth it, very handy little bugger
