Looks to be a provision for an idiot light or something. May have been used on other models. I'm sure there are some on here who know exactly what it is for.

follow the tracer and see if it's wired with the other dash lights, if it's not it's an idiot light you don't have.

I have a housing that has the light in it, it lights up the odometer/speedo.
