And they are power outlets, not cigarette lighter receptacles. In the 199-2004 there was an accessory "smoker's package" that had an actual lighter and ashtray that mounted in the center dash cupholder. That lighter socket was wired completely separately. The stock receptacles are not rated for a lighter. You will blow a fuse at best and fry the wiring at worst.
But they are in the stupidest place in front anyway. It was not popular in the older vans, but in newer ones and current ones, mounting and wiring a usb outlet makes a lot of sense.
