Headlight Help

[KITES]

I've just purchased a new 2005 Mazda 6 and have a question concerning the headlights. There is one of the lenses ease side that is not loaded w/a bulb. It's the smallest round lens. Looking under the hood, one can see that there is a dummy socket (no wires), loaded in the lens.
Does anyone know if this is for optional driving lamp set up. The dealers supposed top mechanic first said it was for fog lamps, but those are; then he stated they're just for looks... I'm not sure about that and would like som input from others.
When I purchased the car, they told me it had all the bells & whistles... so far I have not found either.
Any help to determine if these can be populated with driving lamps (come on w/high beams or switched separately), would be appreciated.

Integrated fog lights are only available with the "sports" package. If you have a base 6, the foglights are replaced by shiny pieces of reflective plastic.

There is no way to retrofit the headlight assemblies either, as the actual integrated clusters have actual reflectors which are not available seperately.

If you don't have the sports package, you can however order fogs for the lower grill inserts which most people like better anyway.

Anyone figure out a way to get some lighting in that "unused" location yet? I was looking thru the Japanese Atenza options catalog and it does show an optional lighting kit for that bulb location.

They are for looks, just attempting to fiil up the long lens, without having to have a opaque lens cover.

Holy old thread Batman.

There must be a why to fit something in that slot. One thought go to the junkyard and find a 6 that has them and by just the parts you need (can’t post the site due to none vendor rule but Google $ wink wink $).
