Default Tail Light Problem

I have a 89 crx with a b16 swap. I recently took a trip down to Miami and unfortunatly i got into an accident. the whole driver side headlight, being made out of glass, shattered all over the place. anyways all the lights broke on the driver side including the corner lens, bumper light, and headlight. all of those and their bulbs broke. i was driving the car back up here and it started to rain and it was getting a little dark due to the clouds. so i turned on my lights and the clock dimmed and the instrument panel (gauges) lit up. everything was working fine until later on that night i left a friends house and nothing turned on. including the passenger headlight which was in perfect condition. i changed both headlight bulbs and they turned on fine. but still none of the gauges lit up or tail lights. BUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES SO ITS NOT THE BULBS. i know that the "sockets" for all the bulbs on the driver side got wet when i had them on and off. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND HOW DO I FIX IT, YOUR HELP AND SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU...

check the contacts inside the bulb sockets on the crushed headlight and turnsignals, if the contacts got crushed together this may cause a problem.

Thanks, i'll check that but as far as i know i put a new bulb in the socket for the main low beam light (driving light) and it went in fine. i will check the others.

I am still free to any suggestions...
