    image.jpg So I'm installing a bumper light bar and pulled the blanks and found these. Any ideas as to what they are for?

    Missing the rest of wiring though. Good place to pick up illumination power for switches.

    You know the color for the illumination power? Or else I have to go buy a multimeter.

    Use the illumination wires for your added switch. But for the juice required for your added lights, it's a toss since you might not have any juice in your vehicle where these connectors are. You'd have to verify with meter. If you have juice on pins 9 (S38) & 7(S39), it's a fused-shared-IGN circuit.

    If you do have juice there than add a relay to you added lights so this circuit only uses that tap as a switching power. As in pin 86 of added relay.
