After a pot hole, both of my micro H3s went out!

I was driving and accidently went over a pot hole (it wasn't too bad, no dents on my rims) and then noticed that my H3 HIDs (ProLumen Micros) went out. Did this ever happen to anyone here?
My 6th gen has received a lot of compliments with my front lookin' like this:

I had one of my HID's on my volvo flicker after hitting a bump. Turned out the harness to the bulb loosened up somehow. Have you double check all your connections or fuses? Otherwise, I get them replace under warranty if you have that.

I'd look for a common mode failure, something that would cause both lights to fail due to a single failure.

did it happen to both of them (entire set) or just one?
Both of my fogs went out.

just my driver's side. Sucked cuz I didnt know if the bulb went out or if my ballast was bad so I had to go through the whole process of taking of the bumper and swithching ballasts and harnesses.
