Rear bumper vents.

Started to change the rear vents, passenger side was easy. But on the drivers side, noticed wires going through the vent. These seemed to be

going into the back of the car. Anyone done these vents and was yours the same.

Might be because the car has/had some sort of after market lights? e.g. LED reflectors or an extra reversing light?  What are the wires plugged into inside the car?

Wires go back into the car dont know where they are heading.

Mine doesn't have wires like that.

You can get rear reflectors with lights in them, perhaps previous owner thought this was a way to wire them in? It's not a good way to do it though, and i would be concerned about how they are wired in if they thought putting wires through the vent was acceptable.

There is a plug/grommet further up, on passenger side at least, that i imagine would be a better option than the vents if actually needed.

Removing the rear bumper is very easy, just be careful to pretect the paint.
