    Looking at the front right of my car, there's a little plug on the bumper (if I recall correctly)... Anyone know what this is for?

    If I'm picturing what you're referring to correctly, I think it'd be the hole where the tow hook is screwed in. Check under the rear "trunk" deck to find the hook.

    That's on the front of the car?

    If you look HERE, you'll see it just above and to the left of the right fog lamp.

    It is my understanding that this plug is on cars made in Japan only.
    I was told what it’s used for, but unfortunately I'm old and have forgotten. I think for pulling or some-such BS.

    That's where you "plug it in"

    Or, pop off the cover and see the threaded hole where the towing eye fits.

    Gotcha, gotcha... Took me a minute to comprehend the towing hook/eye thing.

    Thanks. :)

    had to use mine the other day on an ice fishing trip. Got stuck in the snow. It's very easy to use and works great.
