Default Mystery fusebox plug?

Next to the fuse box under the dash there is a Blu/red wire-plug that doesn't quiet reach the fuse box. Everything seems to be working in the car (horn, alarm, windows, moon roof, AC, lights...), but want to make sure it isn't important. The dash was pulled, and put back in, all harnesses reconnected... but was this supposed to be one of them? It is about 4 inches too short to reach the fuse box ... is kinda off and behind it really... But I took note that the plug matches the constant 12V plugs on the fuse box...

that is your fog light wire for when you get the oem optional fog light kit. you'll find the other end between the headlight and washer reservoir. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/.../16603_04.html

man you don't know the trouble some people go through just to find that brown plug when they are installing their foglights. Mine was pushed all the way up behind my fuse box, under the dash...I spent an hour looking for it and found it only after I just unbolted my fuse box out haha.

really? What they do? splice into the plug that is between the washer reservoir and the P/S fluid bottle? That brown wire is easy to find....or I guess they could just directly splice into the foglight harness and just run wire through the engine bay until it's long enough to reach the switch harness haha.

one of my freinds just stock the wire into the fuse box, and presto it worked, i dont know how and which one he used but it works.

and 90% of the times i have seen fogs put in they dont use the plug behind the washers.
