That's the DRL module (Daytime Running Lights)

IT just outputs a dropped voltage of your high beams to run w/the ignition on. It's law for any car in Canada post 1990

Hope this helps

You don't need it if ur in the states.

Your headlights just WONT come on with the ignition.

They'll still work normally with the switch, they just wont come on during the "daytime"
