Default M061 Headlight dimmer

Hi there,

Attached jpg is part of the ’89 schematics.
In column H one can see a module named “(M061) Headlight dimmer”.
What is that module actually doing?

M061 is option code for UK cars.
So when not a UK car, how are the pins bridged together?
Or are they all five just “open”, connected to nothing.
Wiring goes to a 5 pin socket but noting is plugged in that socket, is that it?

Thanks for your inputs!

Regards

IIRC the UK cars had a "required" dim/dip feature. Headlights up but a smaller bulb used for low light situations. Need to go look at my 88 UK car.

Thanks Roger!

May I add a second question?
Where is relay XXII “Backup lights” powered from in automatic cars?
When I follow terminal 86 of this relay I end up at the instrument cluster connector 1 pin 4.
Is that pin really powering relay XXII… … …
