Cheap bulbs are poo BUT keep an eye on that, may have some dodgy wiring too.

Stripped wires back,ok further down if you had seen the lamps you would know why this happened.
Seen similar things at work (electrician by trade)

Ive saw it a few times aswell (Vehicle tech) Worth a heads up to check the wiring just incase you didnt know any better ... Sorted though,
Saw a few 'weld' themselves to the headlight lense aswell...
