used for dipped beam on pre facelift models iirc.
location is left hand wing at the very front, right next to the light.

Early POST facelift cars had a system where, if the sidelights are on, and the engine is started, the outer headlamp main bulbs are lit at a reduced brightness. This was a feature common on cars at the time, and I think, actually compulsorary in some countries, to try to deal with the problem of idiots driving around with just parking lights on.
The resistors are where smithy 318i says, and connect to the wiring loom by two round two pin rubber plugs and sockets.
The resistors are often corroded out, and can be dissconnected by unplugging the two connectors, which will result in the headlamps behaving like the ones on later cars.

i was hoping that it was for high beam to reduce brightness so we can drive with all 4 lights, low beam and high reduced when not needed. well
