If there is anything contaminating the lamp glass, it's more than likely that the lamp will blow. Especially with a high-output lamp, this could actually cause the glass/quartz to shatter into something like an abrasive powder that will ruin the reflector.
I think it would be a good idea to forget about that particular lamp.
If you carefully !! open out the pins, the lamp may be held in place more securely.
