    What are these wires for? 2021 SR, are these fog light wires? I don’t have fog lights. Located between battery and fender wall. 2 blue wires capped and plugged, 2 white wires with lots of slack, capped and plugged. I think they gave me the relay too.

    Did the dealer install anything prior to your purchase?

    its definatly OEM, The white/Black wires are grounds and the blue wires are typicaly used as a potential optional installation. They are just splices

    Just found a SR fog light DIY that some are pre-wired for fog lights. Blue and white wires run to the steering wheel.

    They did include the fog light relay! Bottom left turquoise relay. I know what I’m going to be doing soon.

    That’s where I found out about the pre-wire. Looking forward to installing some fog lights.

    Totally off topic, but a buddy of mine discovered that his Disco II was prewired AND heated seat installed, but the non factory option simply didn’t include the switches. $100 in switches and a little more wire routing and voila, OEM heated seats.
