Random Plug/Sensor

[mint]

Found a random thing at the front of the car yesterday. behind the bumper near the OE horns.

it looks like a light plug socket thing, but there was like some 'numb' blank looking thing in it. My mate asked if it was an out door temp sensor?

But we dont have that.. any ideas? It had a part number but im not taking the bumper back off to check.. was just curious is all

connections for the factory spot lights perhaps?

nah Iv got those, had OE Fog lights on the aero bumper. They are alot smaller than this one found and those are located at each side.

This one is bigger, in the middle of the cross member. Very odd

I always thought it was an external temp sensor for the air con system, as if it is too cold outside the aircon wont kick in to prevent it damaging the system..?

it is a temp sensor, it clips on to the upright chassis member in front of therad (between the horns like you say) tie is with the climate control as craig said.
