Default Red Plug exposed behind headlight

Hi Lads

So I live in a cold climate and have gone the sissy route and installed some Heat Demons inside my bars on my Fatboy. They work great, but when I was installing them I noticed that there is this female red plug buried behind the headlight that is not connected to anything. Any ideas?

Everything works OK so I dunno what its for. I would have thought if it is spare that HD would have covered up!! It is open to the weather and I can see the terminal.

I seem to recall some extra wiring in mine for spot lights, or whatever the side lights are called.
