Got Headlights?

I just noticed something about the headlamp bulbs burning out in the 9-3s.
NHClmr (AKA Brian) was at my house and, of course, we had the hood of his Viggen open. I remember him slamming the hood pretty hard. When he turned on the car for a ride (LOVE THOSE SEATS) we found that a headlight had just blown out.
A little light bulb (perhaps dim) went off in my head. Every time that I can remember a headlight blowing out in my own 9-3 was after I had been under the hood. It struck me that if the hood stops are not adjusted correctly, the hood slams down pretty hard on the headlights and grill. A shock like that is not exactly great for a light bulb.
I can remember adjusting the hood stops on my own car about 9mos ago and haven't blown a bulb since. I can't help but think that there is a real connection here.
If you're losing lots of bulbs and it happens after you've had the hood open, check to see if the stops are adjusted correctly. You never know. Whether this is a valid theory is debatable but it's so easy to make sure the stops are adjusted that it's worth trying.
