Anyone know what this connector should have in it?
 Click image to enlarge The headlights have been replaced with HID units and the link cable works the high beam. I assume the cable is in the right place as it fell out when removing the mobile phone kit. Many thanks in advance for our help.

Probably a dim dip relay that's been bypassed

Isn't that the bypass to get shot of 'Dim Dip' headlights.

Thanks guys, seems to make sense. With the loop removed only the dip beam works, and once the loop is in place the high beam works off the switch. I expect this was done at the time the HID lights were installed and it overcome an issue with the relay.
Do the HIDs use less power, therefore, not having the relay will not do any damage to the wiring, or should the relay be put back in?

Will need to check the lamp housing to see if its standard or not then decide what to do next. |____000_
