paired up orange wires under console

found pair of orange wires under console next to each other and one is black striped and they run through a black plastic connector, would these be for cigar lighter, or ?

Might be some accessory power wires for a lighter or console light or power mirrors. Test to see if the wires have power while the ignition is off. If they do they are on the ACC circuit.

are they shorter than the rest of the wires, and have two very different connectors? (one of which is unshielded). if so, they're definitely the cigarette lighter.

Some cars came prewired for options they never got.
