Default i phucked up my front corner lights >__<

*note* This is not a debate over whether I am a ricer or not. I admit I probably do have some ricer blood in me, so with that admission, let's not mention it again.

I bought clear corners and new bulbs for my corner lights. THe right side went fine, on the left side... somehow the little clip that allows the screw to twist into place is gone. As in...without that clip, the screw can't TWIST into place, it just can be pushed straight in (and obviously isn't very stable).

Being the dumbass I can be, I assumed that as unstable as the whole light was, it was stable ENOUGH. Anyways, that came back to pwn me in the *** and while I was turning in an empty parking lot, the whole corner light ripped out of place and my rear wheels ran over it and shattered it, lol.

ANYWAY, the casing thing isn't the issue. They're like 20 bucks and I can get another one. HOWEVER, the bulbs for the parking lights (the ones that stay on always) and the turn signal bulb ripped out of place. I pulled over and picked'em up, and basically the wiring that connects the bulb to the car snapped. Is there something I can do to kinda..re-attach these (the bulbs are still intact and working, I tried it on the other side) or do I needa take it to some repair place and have'em rewire ****?

*CLIFFNOTES* My corner light bulbs ripped out of their sockets n the wire connecting them to the car snapped. Is it possible for me to reattach, or do I needa take it somewhere to have the whole wiring re-done? and if I do needa take it somewhere, how much would it cost?

if the bulb housing are still good you can still use them.
otherwise, you can buy new ones from like a checkers.
you will have to find the existing wire from the car to the turn signal, and connectt eh bulb housing to those wires.
