What is this thing?

A part I have on my Sabre - called a Headlight sensor - it's part #14 on that sheet.

I'm baffled by what that thing is - it's huge!

Do your instruments include a warning light for the function of tail-/stop-/headlight?

Yeah, there is an LED readout when the headlight burns out.

Jeeze, I can't believe they need something that big just to tell that the headlight/signals are out.

Today they probably would not. In 1983 they probably did. ;D
