Default What switch goes here

My 2016 Outlander SEL. I am going to install a switch to open my garage door. I have a blank in this spot, there is wiring there, can anyone tell me what switch the car is pre-wired for?

Thank You. Never heard of a headlight leveler, must have to do with the LED's. Now if I can locate a Pin Out for this switch so I can draw power when the parking lights are turned on.

Page 5-182 of the 2016 manual. All trims have the same manual so you should see it in yours as well. I would think all versions had this. If there is no in cabin leveler switch in yours, there should be a manual one under the hood. This doesn't answer your question, but maybe it'll help.

Headlight levelers have been common in Europe for many years. There are both automatic and manual systems. My 2002 Audi has automatic levelers. They appeared around the same time as HID/Xenon headlights.

redneck...........................

I'm trying to find a switch, a momentary switch to fit that hole. I can buy a liftgate switch from Mitsu and use that but the stealership wants $72 for it. I see a ton of switches for toyotas but they are 1/4" too big. Finding parts for this truck is going to be difficult at best it looks like.

Wondering if I could add this option and what it would involve?
