Default Strange "sensor" attached to headlight

Can anyone tell me what this is? It's wired into the turn signal, kinda out of place and this thing had 6 miles when I bought it so it had to de the dealer that installed it.

WTF is that? Definitely not factory. I would take it back to the dealer and ask them.

That's the automatic blinker fluid injector.

I found another strange harness, I'll take a picture of that one, seems to be some kind of anti theft thing.

That's a little strange. Only thing I can think of is something like a Flash2Pass transmitter for a garage door opener. I've got one wired up to the high beam wire on my 2011 F-150 so that I can open the garage door by flashing the high beams. I guess it would probably work on the blinker circuit as well.

Brand new truck. Strange wires. Is there anything documented in your paperwork or the Dealer ad on sticker that would give a clue?
