I think you have found the semi-mythical dimming relay. My EARLY MKIV (FK4084L 
Dec. '70) 
didn't seem to have it ...or even a place for it in the wiring harness. Its 
main function 
was to DIM the taillights when the headlights were on at night. As if they 
wen't dim 
enough already... maybe '72 only?
