Welcome!
Sorry you haven't gotten any responses, but this is a very odd problem and first I've heard of it.
I think I'd begin with the headlight circuit due to the brights coming on and check the switch and also the bulbs themselves as perhaps one shorted somehow, or something else odd that may have occurred hitting that bump. Perhaps the headlight bucket is loose? Connector broke/twisted/??? Also, faulty stereo system wiring can be an issue with Z's and modified stereo systems, if you have done this then perhaps a run of your stereo system wiring is in order looking for a short or bad ground.
Just a little too vague to guess more than that, sorry.
