Default Can HID bulbs blow?

I don't see why not, but for some reason I just figured they didn't... My dad has a 99 3.2TL, and last week one of his headlights stopped working. For a while it would come on for about a second and then fail to warm up.. but now it's dead all together. Anyone have any idea whats wrong? Any idea how much repair costs will be?

Pull the bulb out and take a look at it. If it is physically broken there is your problem. Another suspect would be the ballast, check all the connections. Turn on the lights and listen for a humming from the ballast. If you don't hear anything that is probably the problem. Both bulbs and ballasts are somewhat expensive.
