Default Identify wires in cab

Was looking around the inside firewall on the DS for a wire I had snuck in from the engine compartment when I noticed these 2 connected wires. What are they for on the '13 JK?

I see two bundles of ground wires connected to the metal work of the cab with red nuts. Now that you've found them, make sure they are tight, along with any other ground wires you see under the hood and around the rig.

So...You are saying those are ground wires? I could tap into those as a ground source for the light indicator on my on/off switch for my driving lights?

Yes those are ground wires. You could splice into them or could just add a ground terminal ring and then sammich it between the nut and the existing terminal ring.
