Angry HID ballasts?

anyone else go through HID ballasts like its nothing? one of mine just went out today again! for the third time on my car. the one that came for my harley didnt even work when i got it.. dont get me wrong i love HIDs! they are amazing and i will never go back but its a little frustraiting with the ballasts keep going out on me! thankfully i bought them from DDM tuning so i get lifetime warrenties but come on! plus i feel like my car looks cheap driving down the road with a missing light! thankfully this time its one of my fog lights...

just wondering if anyone else goes through the same issues!
