Yes, they blow out very easily. You can get halogen bulbs [ like par 38 ] or other type, about 50-75 watts ] from Walmart or Home Depot . Can you post pics of your set up ? Some pet stores sell unnecessary or inadequate bulbs , esp. the uvb. Here's how to post pics :

Can you tell if it's the bulbs that are broken or if the fixtures are damaged? As AHBD mentioned the bulbs can break/fail pretty easily so using a halogen flood light for basking is a good way to go. I've found them to be a bit more durable than the reptile specific lamps. Try the fixture with a regular household bulb just to make sure it's still functional so you know if you need a new bulb or a new fixture.
