Accident in my '98 V70

I didn't say that either but until the hood is opened and ALL the damage is accessed, asking about headlights is very premature!
That's about the last thing the OP needs to worry about at this point.

I think he will find he has a lot more work to do than he thinks...

I agree that the radiator is probably okay if you're coolant hasn't leaked out everywhere, but definitely open the hood before getting any parts. You never know what you're gonna find. I mean, the whole engine could have shifted and busted mounts and several hoses... but that's really extreme, especially for something this minor.
Try to access the little lever on the latch through the turn signal. And since you'll need a new hood anyway, it wouldn't hurt to get out the sawzall.
