If we touched the bulbs they would of burst even sooner.

Used a cloth to install them.

Gonna save up for a set of HID's......not gonna bother with changing bulbs for now.

^^^^ That would be the best option.....I wouldn't mess with no gas charged bulbs if you feel me on that one.

I had the PIAA Extreme White for over 9 months now and I love the way they look. If you guys want to see what it looks like go to my "www" on my cardomain page.

that's what I did on my bulbs... just in case whoever handled it before me wasn't as smart...

I picked it up from working with stage lights... the alcohol cleans up any oil that is left over from your fingers (the oil causes hot spots on the bulb which then blows it).
