Headlight Wiring Harness Question

[gssixgun]

Been doing some Spring Fixies on my L3600

I replaced my Headlight Blubs, which I actually found on amazon for $2.99 each for Hella's shipped..

But I started wondering about these two wires
Does anyone have a guess as to what the two leads are coming off the headlight harness might be there for ???
I tested them
Negative & Positive 12v
Goes hot with the key switch
Looks to be about 18ga so light duty
My first thought was Aux lighting but they would be Always On with the key

My guess.....running lights.

Yep, running lights like what cars have had for quite some time now (DRL) or Daytime Running Lamps

curious... be nice to see the wiring diagram from the WSM, so understand why Kubota made them for ?

air filter restriction switch

It's hard to see the colors on the wires so see if you can trace it yourself.

The wires look light blue and black in the pics so should be air filter lamp. Easy enough to check, short the wires together and look at the dash.

By the way my L4310 has basically the same configuration in the harness and that's what they do on my tractor

so.... some 'idiot light' comes on when air filter is plugged up ( restricted ) ?
Curious as wire don't seem very long....

The switch was under the bottom of the elbow.

The wiring only needs to be long enough to reach the air filter switch on the air filter housing.

That's interesting. I could see that possibly being useful
