Spare socket next to boot light?

Hi guys,
I'm going to fit a rear DVR cam in my Hawkeye and looking for a permanent feed for parking protection. I could use the boot light feed but there is rather conveniently a spare socket a few inches from it. Anyone know what it is for and whether it's perm live?
Thanks.

Could well be as rear wiper was fitted on the JDM version and would be ideally located for that - in which case, it would be switched. Have now ordered one of those testers on your link as they are very handy with the earth clip
