Default So my socket was completely burned ! need lil help

I finally got around to taking out my left signal drl and the whole socket is burned, I need to know how Im going to connect the 3 wires into it if the whole indicator thing is burned =(

I was figuring to maybe cut them and connect them myself but to what in the new socket... about to go buy..

I also have to change my relay, which is under the dash right? I have to unscrew that panel? What does it look like?

Really could use some help. thanks.

I hope my tailight isnt like that ! Nothing on my driver side blinks.. I hope by changing this front socket and bulb that my rear left will start to..

the plastic wasnt melted, but the part where all the wires go into was
what a PITA
