They're a feed for the light ring around the 12v outlet.. I was just tracing those a few nights ago.

watch out, the 12v will ground to the dash if you wiggle it too much.

oh, I believe that the END of the wire for the 12v light ring is for a dimmer on your radio light.. I was pondering that the other night. it would be worth testing with a meter.

thanks i thought it might be for the dimmer. My new deck doesn't have a dimmer wire so I'll just cap them off. Stereo is all hooked up but need to run new wires to the back. getting some static most likely due to the common ground wire back there. I might as well do them all.
