(I thought maybe it's a daylight sensor for the headlights, but I'm pretty convinced now that it isn't.)


And if it's not the daylight sensor, where the heck is the daylight sensor?


(I've probably got a few more silly questions coming!)

Driver's side, depression in same area simple means there's nothing there, on that side.

You'll have to do better than that to trick it, try black electrical tape and watch what happens
