The switch to the left of the headlight is the headlight dimmer switch. It is 3-position: Dim, Off, Bright.

The headlight will not function unless the bike is running, since there is no battery...

This switch, especially with the original knurled chrome knob, is a bit rare. It also fits early Sportsters. So take good care of it...
