Touched the Bulb
I recently installed a set of Polarg M6's, and did not know that they were so sensative. I've read here (after the fact) that you are not supposed to touch the bulb. Well, I did. They work now, but am I in trouble in the long wrong? What's supposed to happen?

the bulb might crack/break/burn-out prematurely. the hot glass does not like the oils deposited from fingers. don't worry about it, but you might want to go ahead and order the replacement set.

If you wanna be on the safe side, remove them, clean them with rubbing alcohol, let them dry, put them back in without touching the glass part of the bulb.

you might wanna get a pair of latex gloves, too, to hold the bulbs when putting them back in. after wiping the bulbs with alcohol, use the gloves to plug them back into their sockets, wipe off the little remaining particles on the bulb with a paper towel then u should be all set.</STRONG>

and if you don't have latex gloves, an unusued condom would do...just watch the lubricants.
i just use a paper towel to hold it...latex gloves gives me bad flashbacks.
