Wiring looms can have all sorts of plugs etc. with nowhere to go.

I'm only guessing as I'm sure my headlight switch has that secondary plug.

I think its for electric headlight height adjustment. Some cars have the loom, but none of the other bits needed to utilise it.

Edit: trog_nfs beat me to it :P

(I think this might be the height adjustments on headlights?)

Change the switch and the headlight loom (one from the slam panel forward) with GTI spec items.

Its really easy.......

Looms usually sell for around £15-£20 on eBay, expect to pay at least that again for a decent set of fog lights. You'll also need to the front fog headlight switch as well so you're probably looking at about £50 for all the bits you require to get them up and running.
