Default Heater Hoses

So, I replaced what I thought was all of my hoses on my '05 (just ordered all hoses for my model). However, I'm left with two short hoses that are labeled heater. I of course replaced the hoses that connect to the two metal heater lines that go back to the firewall. However, since I have two hoses left, does this mean that there are two hoses in the back that connect between those two metal lines and the firewall/exchanger? Please say NO since I do not want to have to find them and reach them......

But if there are two hoses, what's the easiest way to get to them and how much of a PITA is it going to be to replace them?

They may be for the rear climate control equipped cars, the coolant for the rear heater core is taken off from near the pipes for the front (main) heater core by the firewall, and are connected by rubber hoses to alloy pipes that run under the interior console to the rear.

Thanks Stu. I'll have to dig around and see. If those hoses I got are for a separate rear climate control, then I don't have them and I can return them.
