I did this too - same headlights, and broke the ceramic coating on the wire - didn't break the wire itself and it still worked, but I ordered a new pair of bulbs and scrapped the broken one. My advice is to order another pair of bulbs (I replaced both the broken one and good one, but I guess you wouldn't have to), and be very gentle and wiggle them just a tad to ease them in - obviously make sure you've got the wire in the notch of the projector base, and just take your time.
