Busted bulb!

Ok, I bought these cheap blue bulbs off of ebay, and I kinda liked them. But I just had my lights on and pulled in my driveway, saw my reflection in the window and one of my headlights was out. I looked at it and all these little blue pieces of glass were scattered inside the housing... Now, I know that crappy ones burn out quickly, but shattered? Me thinks it was a quick temperature thing, but I live in FL, and it is near 70 outside... I am gonna complain to the place that I bought them from, but has this happened to anyone else?

Edit: I have had them for several months now...

Yep, im thinking that the oils from your fingers caused the glass to shatter when the bulbs got hot.
