electrical plug lead dilemma

Coming out of left front headlamp wire loom is a brown and white two lead with female plug end and I cannot find what this plugs into. It is not the xenons (all three leads are attached) or the fog lamps and nothing I can see to the bumper itself. The horn relays are attached so it is not that. The lead is not duplicated on the passenger side. Any thoughts on what I am missing? This is an 03 W/S210.

No electrical connect for the washer just water pressure and mechanical door but good try. I am still baffled. It may be a connection to an option I do not have just not sure now. I do not want to put the bumper covers on til I solve the mystery.All guesses are welcome.

I feel embarrassed!!!! The parts guy at Boobby Rahal of Pittsburgh (Greg) diagnosed it over the phone. It is the ambient temp sensor lead that plugs into the block off plate in the bumper grill inserts. Sorry guys for asking for the obvious. The front had not been together for several months and I forgot. Must be the heimers hitting me again. Funny my wife says this alot too!
