Default What are these

Replaced the front shocks on my 2008 base model yesterday and noticed these round plugs on the front of the fender liner on both sides. I was just curious as to what they were. They're slotted kind of like a headlight bulb socket. I was thinking they were maybe for changing the bulbs in the fog light but doesn't look like they line up.

Cooling air ducts for the front brakes.

Air ducts for front brakes, but are they capped? I think mine are large open holes in the fender liner with nothing sticking out. I'm away from home to take a look & confirm.

They do normally stick out, but those do looked capped. They should just be a tubular end on that, no capping. Wonder if someone did that to keep brake dust from going out on the wheels?

The caps came after a certain year model. My 2007 never had the caps,
