Default Left turning signal doesn't work after drop --- SOLVED

Hi all,

I dropped my bike last night to the left (dragged a few ft) and now my L/H turn signal (front & rear) won't work at all. Here are some symptoms:

1. I clicked the switch to the left and it will make some static noise like "dad dad dad dad dad." The indicator light on the gauge won't turn on.

2. I tried to wiggle the light (front), I saw some spark at the connection (near the headlight housing). The indicator will turn on and there is no more static noise. However, the light itself still won't lite up.

I will appreciate any help!! Thanks!
