I'm guessing it's a drainage hole? Perhaps a previous owner has had leaky rear light syndrome and has drilled a hole to get rid of the excess water that had been sitting in the wheel well?

Yeah mines got it,its also got alot of silicone around it to keep the blank in after the old barge had a bout of "leaky light-itis" and I banged the blank out to drain the half a gallon of water out.

there's a hole of that size and there should be a small plastic cover sort of thing which clips in and prevents any dust/water coming inside. Mine was somewhat loosen about few months back and eventually became the entrance for the night staying mouse. Used a plastic lid which can tightly close the hole to say bye bye to the mouse.
