what could this be?

i noticed on my 78 f250 which was originally equipped with factory cruise and a/c.4x4, auto trans a bulb& socket with a round blue lense if you will over it..the wire colors are grey with a red stripe and a black ground i would assume..it's located just below the dash near the park brake pedal and the length of the wriring leads me to believe it should be attached somewhere in that area any guesses what it could be..i cant tell where it should go and i curious what it is for thanks

Sounds like it could be an under the dash courtesy light to me, because of the blue lens, not sure though.

It lights up the words "headlights and wipers" under the switches. It attatches to the back side of the plastic trim piece that surrounds your instrument cluster.
