Left headlight wiring

I am in need if the correct wiring diagram for the Headlight control module plug. The headlight was knocked out in an accident
and it pulled the wires out of the rear of the plug. The repair added three inches of white wire to the harness. But he messed up
putting the white wires into the correct pins of the plug. Headlight and turn signal will not work. Just blows the fuse.

What I need is what is the wire color that goes in to each of the plug pins.

Driver's side headlight SL 550

I just obtained a Driver's side headlight from this guy on Ebay.. He shipped it very fast, I got it in three days. It looks like a fresh new light. Not a
blemish on it. I paid upwards of $600. but it was well worth it.
