Default Killed shopping cart with my car!

So, i'm driving home from walmart on an access road a hit a shopping cart at about 50-55 mph. Hit the front right part of my car and now have severe cosmetic damage. Until I get it fixed, I need to find out why my tailights aren't working. both head lights work fine, but obviously something has been knocked loose. the brake lights and signals still work fine on the rear of the car, just not the actual lights. Can anyone help me figure this little problem out? thanks

lol i'm glad someone can relate, plus it being night time gave me even less time to slow down. nothing like hearing your car shatter beneath your feet..

If it knocked out the front corner light, that could have blown the fuse for the whole circuit-- which includes the front corner lights and the tail lights.

Good call with the fuse! The matter has been handeled, aside from missing half of my front bumber. Fortunately I know how to fix that!
