HID Bulb question

While installing my new bulbs, one of the electrode broke. I put it in anyways just to see if it would work, and it did. How long do you think the bulb will continue to work? I'm guessing I should get another pair? Another $109, ugh!
Does Excelerate sell them in single bulbs? I'm also curious why the bulb actually still works.

..if your talking about that slim outer plastic sliver/cover, if its cracked but the metal rod inside is still good, you have nothing to worry about. It might affect how the light projects, but I highly doubt it.

And no, Excelerate doesn't sell single bulbs.. at least I don't think. You should try to PM him regarding that.. if not, then your best luck is to find some in the Black Market section. If your looking for a set of stock 4300k bulbs, I have an extra pair that I could sell to you for dirt cheap if your interested.

Yes, just the slim gray plastic cover cracked, the metal inside is still in tact and straight. I'm hoping your right, thanks for the offer on the bulbs, but I have mine that I can throw in in an emergency.
