new hyperwhite headlight blown out

I just bought some hyperwhite bulbs for my 96 maxima 2 weeks ago and one of them is already blown out. I was wondering if anybody knew why is blew out so quickly.

since it went out so fast, you can probably still return them if you bought them from a store. Thats what I did.

I had a similar problem with one of my fogs, it blew out after a few weeks. I think it may have been from shutting the car off before turning the lights off. My wife had been driving it for a week and her car has auto headlights so she wasn't used to it. The surge the bulbs take may have done them in. Just my thoughts.
