Default 2008 883XL grounded out?

Hey guys

I put an HD Fender Edge Light on my buddy's 2008 883XL. The light sticks on with double sided tape and, no surprise, he went over a pot hole and the edge light dropped and got chewed up. Now, the headlight, signals and brake/running light aren't working. I cleaned up all the shredded wires, but still nothing.

There's some white powder down near the fuses. Is this normal? Could this just be a blown fuse from grounding out? Any advice?

Wanna get this back on the road before summer ends. Thanks!!!

See pics.

The white powder is corrosion.

It is normal, on a neglected machine...

Have you checked the fuses, or just taken pictures of them?
