What is this switch?

Hi, anyone know what is the switch below circled in red?

It’s an imported 1996 TX with front Helle spot lights. When I pressed it nothing happened. The previous owner has wired the front spot lights to come on with the high beam. Is this the original switch for the spot lights? Thanks.

If its an import that might be for the rear fog light that they'd have to attach for the uk
 
No, there is another switch for the rear fog which is an added one (those black circular switch). The one in the photo looks rather OEM. Took the panel off where the switch is and the switch is connected to a red and a white cables, photo below.

The last photo below shows an un-used connector I found behind my front bumper, is this likely to be the original cable for the front spot light? They are 2 of these connectors dangling around behind the front bumper.

I also found another pair of black and brown cut wires behind the bumper.

Anyone has the factory wiring diagram?

Seems an odd place for it but that's a fog light switch surely , later UK models got front fogs in the bumper but spec and variation differs here and internationally .
 
I don’t mind the spot lights come on with the high beam, but they appear to be weak, or not bright. I used to have cheap EBay ones on my previous Colorado and they are much brighter. Must be the wiring the previous owner, looks like a messy connection. Also, does it normally has 2 wires from the relay to the spot lights? Seems like this has been spliced into 2 lights from the same relay, i.e. like a “Y” splice to each light. And one light appears to be weaker than the other. Any thought?

See photo below.

Also there is a factory wiring diagram in the resources part of the site. PM me and I'll email it to you if you like.
 
Thanks AdventureWagon, PM sent. I will recheck all wirings and make sure no rubbed or loose connection...
