If it's the part i'm thinking of it, it's the relay for the headlights.

 

These are ment to get hot and should not be placed near anything which will melt/ flammable.

 

What makes you think it's broke?

the one at the top of the strut is for the low speed fan, sounds like an early car as they were clipped to the topof the rad later on, and the one under the headlamp is the dim-dip resistor.

Under the pass. headlight as Welshpug says? ^

 

Sounds like it, though i've never smashed one so couldn't tell you whats inside it

They just corrode and fall into bits after time.
