What is this hose?

Hello all,

1987 IROC manual

I’m not sure this is in the correct forum but since I’m doing a swap, I thought I would ask here.

There is a hose that is electrical taped with the headlight wires harness… it’s comes from about the front headlight on driver side frame rail and goes through the bulkhead into a switch that connected to the brake pedal.

can anyone tell me what it is and if I need it for a ls1/T56 swap.

see pictures

thanks in advance.

That's the hose that connects to the blinker fluid reservoir.
