Hey Guys,
I have my entire center console apart - I'm replacing the whole thing to get rid of some mysterious knob that was installed permanently right in front of the e-brake. When I trace the wires from the knob, they lead to the dash and to a panel to the right of the headlight switch - below the defrost button. What's typically in this location? I've checked RealOEM and I can't find it anywhere. If it's some aftermarket thingamajig, then knowing the blank plate part # would be really handy.
Attaching a photo of what's there now.

You must be referring to the opening right next to the fog light switich. On Cars fitted with the Euro headlight system, there is a up/down aiming switch mounted in this exact location. On cars with the US headlights, a blank cover plate is fitted. As for the part # for this plate, it is a mystery.

Yes - that's the location I'm referring to.
I found this shot of another CSi that had a similar set of lights (albeit with a different number and different arrangement) that made me think it might be some factory bit that's been modified.

I found it. Still don't know if that's a factory security light of some sort or not.

I don't see it in place on other CSi photos I've seen.

What is it for? What does it show?
That thing is straight out of 1977 Star Wars.
That is not factory, or even dealer install - it is part of the flux-capacitor modification of the specific owner.
(most likely a hidden radar detector)

It was in fact part of the flux capacitor. I just got back from 1957. That was NOT easy. Michael J Fox has my respect.
