Fogs or drl for indicators

Nope, DRLs are underneath. Fogs would be other side and nothing like that. I’m flummoxed.

Is it for the pump in the washer bottle?

There's also a plug on some sort of sensor in the aircon pipe just to the front of the washer bottle.
See it here

Is the sensor connected? Pressure switch for ac does the plug fit the sensor? The length of cable will tell you where it goes ?

Can't see anything like it on mine
Allthrough with the bumper and everything connected it's hard to see much

ePer has pictures of all of the various connectors and none of them look like this (based on the drawings). The only one that might be similar is number 4 on the second slide, which is listed as parking sensors, I don't know of any 500s with front sensors though?

Do any 500s have auto breaking?
If you look at the cable it has been bundled up there are cable fixings to keep the cable in place along its length that can be seen if the ac sensor is hooked up not sure what it's for.
A/C is connected and that's a small plug. Washer is also connected, again completely different plug. It really is a mystery. I've had the front off of 29 of these cars and never seen this plug before. It's obviously something on the loom that's not in use on this car as it's bundled up and taped together.
Weird.
Weird.
If it were "from the factory" the cable would be in its final position, even if not in use, my Mazda has lots of un-used connections as they all use the same loom regardless of spec, undo the cable tie and see where its possible to get to in the direction that it leaves the main loom?
what engine is this a 1.2?

Is the other corner intact?
Does it have a similar wire?
Not sure how they work, but don't Xenons needs some sort of auto leveling system, could it be for that?

Ever find what the plug was for?
Nope, bumper is on now and it’s tucked under the headlight where it was before. Remains a mystery.
I would put money on it being a redundant sensor.
Old air con systems used to have a high and low pressure sensor which was just a switch, these days they have one pressure sensor which gives a pressure value.
I'd hazard a guess that this was a left over from an old design wiring loom and something put in the car from a parts bin.
The white piece around it is a shroud to stop it being plugged into anything.
