I BELIEVE in the UK and/or UE, there is a headlight leveling switch in that position.
In any event, in the USA, that space has no function in any model year.
Since the supposed 2007/2008 part was manufactured in 2004 that does cast a little doubt over the seller's competence. That part is somewhat scuffed-up in my car and the fact that the part with an "unknown opening" costs $45 less would make that hole easy to live with... if only someone knew how to obtain the functional part that snaps in there. I don't care if it works.
I think they are actually showing part #0YA49ARKAA, which has the switch for the auto headlight level feature, vs. YA47BWNAA referenced in the listing. I found the two part numbers in the 2007 and 2008 parts manuals, but the partial copies of the 2007 and 2008 owners manuals I have don't reference how to use it. In fact, they show the same photo of the headlight switch as in the earlier model year manuals that do not show the auto level switch. Either way, the part will fit your dash.

If your going to replace it anyway, get the least expensive one. If you want to mount a switch and the one with the 'hole' is that least expensive one, you'll have to adapt it to make it look as good as you want it to.
Changes to 2007/2008 headlight switch?
