Unhappy Had a little fire in my headlight..

i hit a pot hole last night and my right (OEm venon) headlight went out. They cluster instantly notified me. i poped the hood and realized the ignitor was a bit loose so i pushed it against the bulb and it worked again . later on i realize the same light blinking when i go over some potholes & uneven surfaces on the road so i thought maybe it wasnt making a good contact.... I pulled over and popped the hood and it smelled like some thing was burning. the bulb melted a bit and the inside of the ignitor seemed like it was on fire or extremly hot.. New bulb & ignitor for me.
