ok so I hate LA streets. effing horrible. 
Anyways, I was driving down Normandie when I hit an effing FAT pothole. As soon as I run the pothole I get an error code saying my left parking lamp is out. Any ideas as to what could be the problem? I haven't had the chance to look at it yet because I was already late to dinner and I got home pretty late last night. I'm guessing maybe it got disconnected? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

check the wheels to see if it's cracked or bent....monitor the tire pressure closely as well....
LA roads are not as bad as other cities, but with the recent rain has not helped the situation, I know I;ve dodged a few the last 2 days....

Maybe you got off lucky with a broken bulb filament - shock can kill bulbs too. The rest of us have had wheels and tires taken out by potholes

about an hour ago i was behind this car that went a pothole,
i guess there were some loose gravel in there and it spit out a 1 inch chunk at my car!
i slowed down to gain some distance so it wouldnt hit my hood and bumper.
