Auxiliary Power Connection

A quick question for the experts. It the cap for the auxiliary power connector supposed to be painted (black) or unpainted as shown?
Thank you much.

Mine is satin black (original)

Originally - black. By the way, this part is available new from the dealers, or was available fairly recently.

Thanks guys. I thought it should be black but wasn’t sure any more since mine doesn’t show any signs of paint.

Dirk where is the auxiliary power located?

Right next to fuse box, a bit to the center of the car, an inch or so...

Thanks Dirk I'll put that in my memory bank for when I begin re-assembling my car one day

So what is this actually used for?  What type of plug fits into that?

[dirkbalter]

It’s for a light you can plug in. (When you break down at Night)
I don’t have one yet but there are photos here on the forum.

Try to use the search function. Put in Kaco lamp, trouble light, trouble light socket or alike. Have in parenthesis.
