Default WTF is this thing?

I'm trying to figure out what this is - some kind of switch that runs through the firewall and then connects into a wiring harness and disappears back into the firewall. Not sure WTF it does and the switch doesn't seem to have any on/off activation (just a threaded tip)...

I guess my question is does anyone know what this harness leads to?

I don't have fog lights, just high/low beams (activated by button on floor next to clutch pedal) - and the switch looks well used...

yeah those lights in the black grill are the high beams, or I guess they could be foglights lol - either way they're activated by the floor button (which took me a week to find haha)

the only black/red wires in the '69 diagram that I can see go to the backup lights.

uh oh.... i ripped my whole carpet up and i couldnt find that button........

..............

if it rusted away i can find out what this other switch does and if its worthless i could wire my highbeams to it.
