Randy's comments are likely correct and as he notes, easy to verify. The early cars did not have these wires so I can't say for certain what they are for. Maybe license plate light, maybe rear deck roundle light. Either way it's simple to figure it out with a volt meter or test lamp. Brown is ground and gray/black will the 12VDC. This is the opposite of Randy's comments but I can assure you the brown is ground on SPF cars. Check out the posted schematics in the How To section. Connect your probes and look for power when you either turn on the driving lights or hit the number light switch. There is are "How To's" on both installing a license plate light as well as a roundle light already posted.
