They seem to be factory or at least HD aftermarket.

Any ideas for me?
Could be to power thermal gear for winter riding? Put a volt meter across the connector pins/socket.....set the meter on DC volts and flip the switch. If you see 12 volts you can most likely power anything that doesn't draw more than a few amps.

Whatever you do, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT turn that switch on! My friend did, on his brand new bagger, and this is what happened.
