Default Hit a deer... now my low beam's don't work...?

Hey everyone.

I hit a deer about a week ago, and headlight/corner lense both got smashed.

High beams work...
Low beams, don't...
You know how when you turn your low beams on and the corner lights light up orange? The smashed one doesn't anymore... but it DOES still flash when I flip on the turn signal.

Everything on the undamaged side is perfect.

What would cause this?
Fuses are all okay.
I tried to see if any of the wires broke/snapped during impact, but everything seems to be perfectly fine. ??

Thanks everyone.

both bulbs, low beam and turn signals are dual filament. its possible that you broke out a filament in each one. it has happened to me before when i hit a cone on the track

replace bulbs and check for function

That's guys... exactly what it was... one filament was broken, the other wasn't.
