I have two of these clips on both sides of my dash, right underneath the edges of the dash underneath. This picture is on the passenger side. Don't laugh at that antenna cable that's not plug in.

Sorry about the poor picture quality but what is this?

Someone may correct me, but I beleive they are for footwell lights.

Looks like a plug attached to a pair of wires, but I could be wrong.

I have a bunch of connectors hanging around in my Jeep that aren't attached to anything and I have no idea where they would go.

I didn't know what they were until I read this. All I knew is they are a +12v source, found that with a multimeter and have my amplifier running off one.

I don't have any lights but I would love to hook some up if that's what those connectors are for. I'm gonna have to go take a look too. X4 I guess?
