Could be a number of things...

Did you touch it with your bare hand before installing it? If so, the oils from your skin will cause the bulb to explode.

Or, it could just be a defective bulb.

No matter what the reason is-- its YOUR Fault. :p

Well if its just the high beam then the light didnt "explode" heh. Chances are the high beam filament is toast or maybe theres a problem in the wiring. Take a look at the bulb to see if there is a broken/blackened coil inside.
