HELP! OEM HID BULBS: How long do they last?

How long does the oem HID bulbs last? I was in a minor accident about 4 weeks ago on the front passenger side. Now today my passenger side HID bulb is out. Do you guys think that something is wrong or could it be just a coincidence that it burned out on that same side? Please help!!!! Thanks.

yeah basically the headlight housing as a little scratched up by the accident but it was able to be buffed out. So I'm thinking it shouldn't be that damaged... and they were working fine for 4 weeks..until tonight when i was driving and got home...noticed one side was darker. Came out and checked and it was out.

yeah...i dont even drive it on during the days...it'd be rare.... i have an 04 as well. I think the headlight might be damaged... i hope its just something loose that can be fixed easily... i hate the hassle of dealing with the insurance company and waiting...and more waiting.. its annoying.
