when HID bulbs blow up they can actually just be emitting the wrong kind of light. you can't see it but it is actually emitting powerful infared radiation. you can check for this by turning the bulbs to where they are supposed to be on and then placing a block of ice in front of the affected bulb. if the bulb is blown the ice will not melt. if it works, it will melt the ice
