I guess I am a little confused by the question. He should already have the two. Does he mean to imply that one of them is not working? And where could he get a replacement part?
If he wants to know what he can power with them? Then the answer might be almost any 12V-DC accessory that wont exceed the amp. limitations of the circuit.

While in Texas, some mud wasps thought the recessed module that contains the 12V recepticle would be a good place to build a nest. Bastards.

Works great to plug in a sprayer pump on a large tank to ride in back with a spray wand to spray weeds along the fencerows at the farm while your sister drives along the fences.

The outlet in the bed is a 15 Amp circuit.

It's really useful for tailgating or camping. Or filling up tires after a wheeling trip if you only have a 12V air pump

They are 12 volt DC sockets for up to 20 amps.
NOT for 120 volt AC volt household appliances.
Owners manual shows both 20 amp capacity.

If you want a 120 Volt plug on your truck, you have to get a Honda Ridgeline.

If you need 110vac. You can buy an invertor. Not sure how many watts.

Only newer vehicles have the on board inverters. Like Eddie said you can get an inverter and just plug it into the 12V outlet. I've used a 400 watt one to charge a laptop or VHF radio, etc. Ive seen a guy with a 1st gen Explorer that ran a 2nd battery and powered a 2000W inverter for his on board air and water pump.
