Headlamp bulbs more shock sensitive when hot?

[Houston Texas]

IMHO, I'd say the parking lot mishap didn't blow your bulb.  Possibly a
combo of heat and time is more likely.  How long have you had them?
Filaments may be more sensitive when hot, but I'd gather it would take a
few crater-sized potholes to affect your bulbs being blown. The streets
around here aren't perfect, but I don't have to swerve around bumps, tar
strips, or speed breakers for fear of headlights not working.  Heck,
after owning this type44 Q, the only way I know my lights are on is when
the blue square is lit on the dash.  {:-)
