What use is this to me?
There can be many reasons, but one good example is a popular mod for the Mk4.0, which is to fit aftermarket daytime running light (DRL) units. If the kit contains one ballast that drives both units, a good location to fit it would be underneath the left headlight.
That way, you don't have to tap into the ground wire of the lamp itself. Just crimp on a ring connector and screw it to the chassis using one of the existing six or so nuts below the air filter box.
Then, wire up the main +12V to the violet/white wire, and the switched input to the yellow/blue wire, using one of the methods below:
- T-tap (quick and dirty)
 - Solder and shrink tubing (reliable and beautiful, if done right)
 - Home made tap loom using bullet/blade connectors and spare wires
