That would be aftermarket. Could be a previous owners attempt to run something to a trailer? Have you tried tracing it further?

Does the rear bumper have spots for backup lights?

I'm with you, we use those connections for markers on dryvan trailers. Is your plate light still working?

Definitely has the same connector as a sealed marker light like a trailer or utility truck uses. Do you have aftermarket lights on your bumper, fender, etc.? Maybe rock lights?
