Default What Wire IS This? It unclipped and became disconnected

After driving through a particularly bad snowstorm with frozen snow sticking to the bottom for a day, a wire on my 2019 Lexus LX 570 which runs along the bottom near the running board and wrapped in spiral covering came unplugged. The wire was plugged down by the weight f the ice. What is this wire and where does it insert? It hides underneath and along the running board and mINLY hydraulic suspension. The vehicle shows no issues or warnings while driving. No idiot lights. Hydraulic system works just fine. The wire is plugged on one end in with a large plug, but the opposite end has a small electrical connector that looks like an old-style USB cable connectors from 25 years ago for dial-up. I can't see where it goes/where it connects. The opposite side of the rig has the same cable, although connects in opposition of the other side. I can't see where the small electrical end connects on the opposite side. The wire clips along the edge of the suspension. Can anyone give me some help before I take it to my indy shop? I tried Googling online includign diagrams but didn't have any luck with this part.

Sounds like aftermarket lighting. If you can't tell from the otherside, it is unlikely anyone here will be able to help especially without a picture

I figured it out. Not aftermarket, but it is the wire for the courtesy lighting for the passenger rear door. Whew.
