Default OEM Off Road Light Switch Connection

Hello all. I have LEDs on all sides of my rig and have them all connected to my Feniex 4200 Mini controller that I mounted just in front of the gear shifter over the little tray there. I was able to run all my wires using 1 cord I found at Lowes and ran it trough the door jam so I didn't have to drill into my firewall. Now I find myself needing 2 more switches but am hesitant to run any more wires in the door jam and creating a WT look. I was doing research and noticed the OEM switches use a wiring harness. Does anyone know where they plug into and if it is already ran through the fire wall. I know GM ran wires for a trailer brake and just taped them under the dash and I was wondering if they maybe did the same thing here. Thanks guys!
Will Post Pictures Soon!

These are the wires for the AUX lighting that are unused. Look under the driver side dash. They are the same under hood.
ORANGE, BROWN & BLACK & WHITE

Noob question, are these wires just a 12V power source and ground? If so which colors operate what? And i would assume a fuse is needed somewhere as when I opened my fuse box under the hood the AUX lighting appears to be missing? Size of fuse needed?

They dead end on both sides of the firewall.

I would suggest using these as the trigger wire for a relay if you're going to run anything substantial. You'd want to run a fused hot line from the battery to the relay so if anything happens you have a controlled weak link.

Thanks, Ill just run a whole new setup into the truck from the battery and add an Aux lighting box. Im installing one light bar now and plan to add a few more later. Would rather do it right now than splice into wires.
