So it's my mom's car, it's a 2004 Hyundai Elantra... i know, i know. The light bulb burns out like every month or so, and i NEVER touch the glass. i'm just tired of having to replace these damn lights!!! So my question is if i put HID's in her car, would what ever is causing the bulbs to burn out, do the same to the HID's? Could it be a ground problem?  Any help would be great, thanks

Could be simple hood alignment.  I don't know what it looks like, but check to see whether the hood's rubber stop bumpers hit against the headlamp.  Or maybe they just make the whole structure around the lamps shake??
 
It might be a simple matter of adjusting those so they don't hit the headlamp so hard.  And also not slamming the hood as hard.
 
Seems to me that ground problems can only result in lower voltage, and that's not gonna make bulbs burn out.  A bad voltage regulator might regularly allow high voltage spikes.
