Default under hood question

I am one of the poor people that didn't get a under the hood light on my JK. I would like to add my own and was wondering if this is the right connection point/ or what the heck is this?
It is nylon tied (flimsy) and has two red and one white wire. (one red striped black an the other is solid red).
If this is not the right connection where should I splice?
Can someone (those that have a factory connection) photo something that could help.
Thanks!

P.S The battery connections are as per factory spec- I haven't added any connections. I was not impressed with the fit and finish of some of the under the hood connections..

the wiring for my under the hood light runs into the larger wire set that runs parallel to the windshield that you see in your pic #photo dump1 390.jpg (88.5 KB, 4 views)can not see how it hooks in because it is covered

Ordered My Rubi U IN Oct 06 rcvd Dec 06. Came with the harness complete up to and tie wrapped to a push lock plastic eye using the the same hole in the hood's reinforcing sub assembly that the OEM light uses.
Figured that was a little strange cause the internal D.C. build list I have stated for that time period a light was included. Went to dealer and popped a few hoods and found a bunch without even the branch of the harness loom that I have.
Long story short-they discontinued the light after my harness had been built and qeued for install. I popped for one of their's at the parts counter kinda peeved they didn't pick up the price of about $28 cdn.
