On my 1988 firebird formula i have a sensor above the headlight switch just above the dimmer switch. 2 wires come out the back. What is it for?

I do not recall any sensors in that area. What are the wire colors?

He may be talking about the little rectangular light over the dimmer that illuminates it ?
