Fast blinking / lamp warning light on - can't turn off

My lamp warning light came on this afternoon on my 06 z4m roadster and the left turn signal began signalling faster than normal. Upon inspection, a part of the brake light bulb broke off, which is probably what threw the code. I have replaced the bulb and the light still says.

I have tried(and have not been able to get the light to go away:
-swapping all bulbs from left to right
-tried removing a bulb from right side to see if it would signal fast as well, but it continues to signal normally with bulb removed.
-headlights and the circular light in the headlight are functional. when I turn on the highbeams, the lights will flicker but the same projectors (outer) will light up. the inner projectors never turn on. Do the hi-beams use the outer or inner projector of the headlights?
-removed led license plate lights with oem bulbs

Is there a way to reset all the dash lights?

This is the light - 2nd row, 3rd image

Here's an explanation of the headlights.
Threw me, too, when I first got my car.
High beams are via a mechanical "eyelid".

The license plate lights are not monitored.

I think you still have a bulb out somewhere.
Make sure all 4 front turn signals are flashing. There's 2 on each side.
5 and 6 in the diagram.

Thanks. I"ll check the turn signals. I can't tell from the diagram, where are the two turn signal bulbs in the front?
