Default Garage door button alternatives

Hey all.

I have a 2015 ram 1500.

Have the buttons for garage door. Wont be using it for that. Whats behind those switchs? Can you wire in, say aux lights or something. Before i tear apart that section, just looking to see if others have done it.

Can easily be used. I wire off road lights to a wireless relay and program the unused Home Link buttons with the relays included fobs. Wireless relays are available on eBay or Amazon for under $20...
