don't cycle the power really fast by hitting the on/off switch on your Power Bar.

Ouch.

Although it makes me wonder. Maybe better to have this happen now, instead of at some random electrical glitch moment in the future when you're not around to notice ...

Well put Tony, I guess that is why I replaced both bulbs. The other was hissing before it lit

just a question, why would you cycle the power on really fast? Was it not firing?

That doesnt look like a normal HID bulb failure. Ill bet you can get warranty on those, just remember to delete this thread first

Doesnt hurt to try.
