Not sure. It runs straight to the battery from the relay, and there are wires running all over in the rear body. Guess I can pull the tails and see if they are indeed HIDs for reverse lights, but thought I'd ask in case it was a common thing to do.

They're probably load equalizers for the LED tails. Basically, they fool the rest of the circuit into thinking that the LED's for the rear turn signals are regular bulbs like the fronts, so they flash at the sane pace.
