NJ Wiring Heated Seats...What do these wires do??

So I recently put my leather seats in, I swapped them out with the cloth ones. I have a 2005 Shinka. I’ve read a lot of threads and it seems like it’s a hit or miss if the wires are there for power/heated seats. In my case they were not. Any way I wired the seats and am currently wiring the switches for the heated seats but now I’m stumped. Attached are two pics of the connectors that go into the switches and two wires from each don’t hook up to any thing. The grey/red wire and the red/yellow. According to the schematic of the wiring diagram it doesn’t hook up to anything but then why would they be there? Does any body know what these two for each switch and were do they hook up too? Thanks

Another thread for someone putting rx8 heated seat switch in there alfa and it gave me a clue.
Found it in the wiring diagrams
The other two wires are for the illumination of the button

L/W 12v from seat warmer relay
L or R 12v going to seat warmer
B Ground to point 11/12
R/Y 12v from illumation 10a relay
GR/Y back to ground point 1
