Do they look genuine or have they been added into the system, a pic will help as well as it sounds like an add on and not genuine fittings.

You will have to trace the added wires back to see where they are spliced into the loom, then if you can give be the colours of the wire that it is attached to, i should be able to see the circuit and have a better idea as to what is going on here.
