Default Mysterious unused wire loom and connecter found under hood

Found these wires unused under the hood, one on each side.

it has 3 wires,

black
white
white/yellow

i tested all the pins with a test lamp, only the ground was connected. also tried switching on all the lights with rear fogs and retested.... no current.
i have an export model Euro spec 08 X with rear fogs only.

i am suspecting:
-that it could be for the fog lamps but it has no power because it is missing some sort of fuse
-it is used for the U.S specs headlights, and it was left disconnected.

What do you think it is for? check yours if you have it, this is kinda fun

Based on the location I think that is the plug for remote start.

hmmm. Wow i guess this is it, My JK does not have headlamp level control. so it must have been left unused from the factory.

Nice shot...May i ask where were you able to get that info? thanks.

I wish I had that harness in my JK. I would love to hook up the headlight level adjustment system!

That would be kind of fun to have but after looking at all the stuff involved to make it work I don't think it would be worth it.
