    Holes in a 1965 headlamp bucket

    This is the headlamp bucket of a 1965 car still with the matching VIN number stamped into it. It has 4 tiny holes with a small white plastic insert, arranged as a square, 2 on the left, two on the right. Haven't seen this before. If this is original what is it for then?
