What is the chrome oval cap pictured below for? The owner didn't know, my Son thought it was a port for a rally lamp, I liked his idea but really have no idea...any help?

Isn't that the hole that you loop the chain through so you can hang it from the ceiling to grow your medicinal weed ?

Apparently the halide bulbs the Porsche lights use in one of the later models (panamera and cayennes)) happens to be just right for growing weed (right colors, etc) and since they are already 12v (no inversion needed to run off solar charged battery farm), and relatively inexpensive, and have a mounting bucket available...

My Father-in-law has a 996, so I can validate that it's the washer nozzle.

What I did not know was that the headlight makes the weed grow, the nozzle waters the plant.

If only the dopers used their ingenuity for productive purposes!
