I'm not sure about the one on the front, but if it matches the one on the side of the steering wheel, then that is an electrical socket like a cigarette lighter but a different size. EI and SAV sell the correct size plug-in so you can actually use it and plug stuff into it. 24v of course. There are two different size original worklights that I've seen fit it.

The socket on the cowl is for the blackout light, it uses the same accessory plug as the socket to the left of the flasher :wink:
