Hit a curb: NEED HELP

Brushed up against a curb with the right side and now my headlights wont go down, car is saying service traction control system and I am getting violent shaking over 60 mph. No body damage and NO prior problems. Please help, Thanks guys!

You probably have bent your rim, or thrown off the balance...Which will cause the vibration...
How hard a hit are we talking? You may have broken the spindle...Is the wheel you hit still attached?

no body damage by the pass side is where it was hit. The wheel is still attached. My dad was actually driving it. He was getting onto the highway. So id say between 30-50mpg. Ill check the light module. It under warranty so ill take it in. Thanks for the advice. But why would the traction control system need fixing?
