Are you saying the light bulbs blew? You may have presented a dead short or an open, both of which cause excessive current flow through the lamp. An open causes high current near the crossover frequency because of undamped shunt resonance. A short causes high current because it's a short. If you have am ohmmeter, you can check and see if either of these things is the case for you.
