I think that's the dip-shit unit.

Makes your headlights come on dim when your side lights are on.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I'm going with ED on this one. The colours and location look right for dip dim unit. However the ones I've seen are different looking to what you have and looking at the wire colours, I think you may have an early 410.
The only problem is if you have an early 410 the voltage regulator is not built into the alternator and therefore that wiring needs to be kept.
Have you got one of these lurking about.
