My mechanic (theoretically retired but who takes the occasional job that nobody else around here will touch) is working on a Jaguar SS-100.  The RH (driver’s) side headlamp is “normal” – two wires.  What on earth is this contraption on the LH headlamp? He’s never seen a headlamp with a solenoid and these other bits. ( I once had a late-‘30s MG-SA and I don’t remember the headlamps having anything like this!)

TIA,
