HELP!! MAY DAY!! NEED ASSISTANCE RIGHT NOW!!!! Signal light lost!

Well, I was surprised this morning when I went to drop off some folding chairs....

My signals did not work at all, nothing,... no lighting up at all...

When I arrived at the destination, I saw something very weird...

My passenger side clear corner with amber stripe was GONE!

Yeah, so the black plug is missing... all that is left is 3 wires with metal connectors on them.... bulb and buld holder gone too...!

Question:
How can I rig it so the other three signal lights will work?

I know that the brown wire is ground but....

HELP!!!! My car is too unsafe to use unless I can get something working!

your car is too unsafe without turn signals? What country are you from? In the US I'd bet 50% of drivers don't even know their car is equipped with turn signals - they sure don't use them very often.

Imagine people in Ford F-250s to Toyota Sequioas... not using signals and weaving in and out of their lane...

People who wear cowboy hats and drive sedans are known as "rejected cowboys"....

To be a cool cowboy, you must drive a truck, even if you live in an apartment in the middle of Dallas....

But DAMN, some of these Texan girls are hot! (Becoming more rare since Texas is basically the most fat state...)

Sigh... is Georgia any better?

Go to a Car parts store and buy a bulb holder that has three wires.

Buy the appropriate bulb that fits the above. (Amber would be nice)

Duct tape the bulb/holder assembly to your fender.

Connect the wires.

Drive home carefully.

Take a rest.

Enjoy your day off.

Look forward to another car project this coming week.
