Can anyone help me with the name of the connector that is shown in this photo, and what its purpose is?

I've torn out some dodgey bridging wiring from the front tweeter lights (which I was convinced was causing failure & flickering), but I am now stuck. I seem to he left with he H4 connector and (unidentified connector). I've got a set of TP LTE LED headlamps going into the H4.

I'm in way over my knowledge base

You should be able to get a rough idea of what a connector is for by looking up the wiring colours here: https://www.lrworkshop.com/connectors/defender-2012-2.2tdci/colour assuming yours is a TDCi. Looking at the blue wire with a yellow stripe it sounds like it's probably a connector for the headlamp leveller.

Thank you for all your replies... and jokes. Hugely appreciated.
I see now from diagrams its called a lamp-side-front

It's a 2004 TD5 Defender, but XS spec

Going by what your all suggesting, head lamp leveling; does that mean "I have to" refit this back as an assembly (as I don't currently have it there now) I think I might have taken it off with the old set of headlights and bowls.
Don't people tend to 'blank' this switch off on their facia's in the cab?

If you have an adjustment/levelling switch in the car, to pass an MOT it must work.

Yep, that site has been a godsend for me over the last few years, particularly for tracking down part numbers using the diagrams.

To find info about other generations of Land Rover you just need to go to the Electrics menu, then select the year of your Land Rover, then 'Connector Library' and 'Find Connectors by Wire Colour'.
