Some kind of tracker? Nice car btw

It's for the towing bolt/safety link, if you want to tow a small trailer, you pop that off, and it leads to a hole in the (actual) bumper where you would screw/bolt it in... then use a chain or cable from that to the trailer. Basically in case the actual trailer hitch fails, the trailer *shouldn't* go flying off into nowhere.
It can also be used in the reverse, especially in racing, because having a tow hook there is easier to access for the emergency people if you fall off the track, than digging around under the car.

I'm sure it's available as an option and that's probably where it would go.
Equal opportunity blasphemist and insultant.

I see.
I was going to suggest that it was a sensor for backing up.
(You know, when you back up it beeps when you get too close to something.)

Probably because the front one is more likely to be used, and also used for "unintentional" things, like if it breaks down, the tow truck might use that, but the rear one is pretty much only for trailers or something "you choose"... so a bit more permanent.
