It looked like it was connected to vacuum lines.

Headlight over ride. Pull it and headlights should come up without turning on.

The manual is an easy source for these questions.

FYI, when asking questions on your car, and Im sure they will be more difficult in the future, tell us what year your car is.

its nice if you need to work on them or you use it and get caught in bad weather, you can flip them up before they freeze shut or something of that nature
