Two wires to know where

I bought this 03 z4 that had all the lower front plastics missing. The cars must have hit or ran over something and took it all out. After removing the bumper and the headlight I found these tow wires that aren't plugged into anything. Does anyone know that they go to. When I turn on the ignition one wire has power. I have attached a photo. Thanks for any help.

My guess, with digging much (it's late) is this is for the temp sensor that goes in the bumper.

Check Realoem.com for make and model and see what you can find. (It's a handy tool for these kind of mysteries.)

Not the temp sensor

The temp sensor has a plug and it works.

Can you trace those wires back ............ go as far back as you possibly can with them. See where they lead. That may help give an indication as to what they are connected to.
