FWIW, I put on rubber gloves when installing so that I didn't get oil on the bulb. I think I'll save my money from now on and just buy the cheaper ones. They may not be as bright but at least they seem to last for a few years.

If you look on the package some of the brands have a life expectancy chart for different brightnesses, and the brighter you go, the faster they burn out.
