Default Mystery switch

I'm new to C3's and wondering what this switch is for? This is a photo of the switch in the first picture and the second photo shows where it comes out of the firewall under the booster and near the washer bottle. I would appreciate any info.

Model year? I had to blow up the pic to see it, but it looks like the alarm switch in the left side fender with part of a broken connector.

I believe it's the anti-tamper switch for the key alarm switch on the fender

Most all suppliers sell it but they will likely call it the headlight warning switch since it's the same
BTW, supper easy to break them as they are plastic and the threaded end is cut in half where it meets the body
