So yeah, it sucks alot. Saw that little raccoon in the middle of the street, tried to evade it and ended up rolling right on it with my front left wheel. Now my front left turn signal isn't working anymore and my back left turn signal is going twice as fast..

There seems to be a little piece of plastic that broke under the bumper, so I'm wondering if it's some connexions that got fucked up under the car or if it's just the turn signal light that broke..

Does the fact that a front light bulb is broken unbalance the heat that's given through both front and back light make sense? If so, I'm guessing it'll be just fine replacing the light, if not, then idk what'll fix it.

Please help.

we have no idea whats broken specifically...because we can't look at it.

and it's supposed to speed up like that so you know you have a bulb out.

Okay, I've read things around the Internet and lights are quite simple, it's either the bulb that got destroyed during the hit or the turn signal relay that got wrecked. Thankfully, this looks rather easy to fix, I'm just not quite sure which of the two situations is mine.. Just hoping there isn't other things that broke during the impact

Yes, replace the bulb and all should be fine. Generally when a turn signal bulb goes out the other will blink faster. This is of course is no other damage was done to the wiring etc.
