Oh S***!
Try something that would trigger a recall, the last thing that should happen is another person loses their transportation.

Same thing happened to me with my 2000 Celica GTS years ago. Fog light bulb and socket fell out of the housing and got shredded by the tire and my wiring harness behind the dash melted like cheese together. Thankfully that was the extent of the damage. I just pulled all the wires apart and retaped them together... lol
