Hi, does anyone know what this socket is for, it is located under the front fairing under the near side mirror, there are 3 cables going into it but the socket is blank on the inside and no pins are visible

Probably for the auxiliary lights :)

I was thinking it was an AUX port but why would the internal of the socket have no pins to connect to, you can see the cables going into it but nothing on the inside...

The cap/blanking cover needs to be removed from the plug/socket to expose the pins.

As David says you will need to remove the blanking cover then it will connect to all the wiring for the AUX lights

It plugs in to the wiring connector just under number 9

"the connector on the R1200RT LC is located in the area behind the meter panel. Need to remove windshield and a panel behind it to access."
