At a guess i would say that the wires are for the pimped up LED washers............... Don't use them 'cos you will look an :butt:
I say this 'cos when i sold my wifes truck to Frontycustoms the first thing he did was connect up the two wires and the LED's lit up...... i had it for 12 months and never looked atthe washer jets so from this i can say it is not obvious that you have the LED washers fitted, well i never knew anyways.

Hope this helps

The two wires on the washer jets I would assume are for the heating element within the jet to stop them freezing up in winter.
