They are probably toggle switches for either aftermarket foglights, led or neons, amps, screens, allowing a headunit to watch video while in drive, pretty much a whole bunch of applications might apply?
Hope this helps.

Have you followed the wires to see where they lead? Could be an ejector seat.

Turn your car on and flip each switch independently. You may want to have someone with you to see if there's a difference outside your car if you don't notice a difference inside.

Definitely not stock. I would follow the other posters recommendations and see what treasures you may find!
