Default need help with front end wiring harness

hello, i just got a '95 850 turbo wagon. the front passenger side was damaged from a previous owner hitting a deer. hood was damaged and the head light and turn signal are gone. fender was replaced too. it came with a head light, signal lens, and the big plastic thing that the lights bolt to. so there are a some broken wires, disconnected plugs, missing plugs, an the tubes for the washer fluid are ripped, and the reservoirs a bit damaged. the diagnostic unit seems intact, but the plastic part that holds it is broken. there are other broken parts too.

ive just about got the head light back in and can deduce which plug goes to it. the turn signal bulb holder, and the plug are gone, and so is whatever else came off that branch of the harness with it. there is one plug that i see where it broke off of, but dont know what it is, am thinking its part of a cooling system sensor. and a plug that is red brown that is not connected to anything on the drivers side either. and all the parts for the washer fluid are in shambles.

anyway, i know i need to track down the bulb holder and plug. but was wondering if anyone would help me out with some sort of list of components that are in that front corner, or picture with some labels would be great. ive checked out the wiring diagrams, and i just dont know what im even looking for, for some parts. and how the washer sytem is supposed to be set up. i could try to take a picture of the area if needed

thanks

There are two types of wire harnesses for the 95 year. You need to determine which you have. Look on the back of the drivers side head light for a big junction plug. If you have the plug you can replace the front end harness pretty easily as it will unplug from that point. I cant remember exactly what components run from there but I remember seeing a diagram at one point that I will look for.

it does not have that big connector behind the headlight, so i am thinking that it is a later 95. is the obd II an indicator of that?
