Default What factory 98 CL Option went here?

Ok so I have had my 98 CL for 3 years now and just decided to put a head unit in it. Upon taking the dash out I noticed that there was some additional wiring ran to this block off switch. It made me wonder what option I am missing. I'm pretty sure nothing as the car has every option that I know of.

What is the button to the right of the clock supposed to be?
Since the CL and Accord use the same console is it just a dead switch to cover where the Rear defroster is on the Accord?

Thanks guys!


Note: Not my car, just pulled from Web.

Fog lights.

The bottom two blanks are for heated seats.

OEM Fogs
Security light (red LED)

I think that's it.

Cool thanks, if you look at my original post, I note this is not my car, just an image I grabbed online.

Now I guess I will have to go out and buy some OEM fogs.

To the right of the clock? On my '97 CL, that's where the clock adjustment buttons are at. It looks like on the '98 and '99, the buttons are below the clock.

Where was the fog light switch on the 97's?

That's a bit odd. So I guess only the drivers seat was heated and passenger side had the fog light switch?

Yeah, there is 2 buttons for the heated seats on the driver's side. Heats up Driver and passangers. 1997 3.0 CL stock comes with it but the 1997 2.2 doesn't.
