Those are the wires for the driver/passenger side impact airbags.

Side note. Any wiring with yellow split loom has to do with airbags. I learned that the hard way when airbag systems first came out, back when they didn't have to much in the way of anti falsing circuit. I was installing a remote start system in a customers 560SL and couldn't find the neutral safety switch. "Hmmm what's that pretty yellow loom" took out the box knife, split it, hit one of the wires with my probe and ended up with two broken ribs.

Great story. Pretty costly too... both money and your body.
