I just ordered some Polarg bulbs from Options Auto.

I know that you cannot touch headlight bulbs but is it safe to touch 1156, 1157, or 194 bulbs with your bare hands? Or do I have to wear a latex glove or something like that?

 

just try your best not to touch them and then wipe them down with rubbing alcohol before you install them

 

Thank you for your response.

Man it was a good thing I asked first. I thought it was ok to touch them.

 

Touch them all you want, it won't do anything. I touch mine all the time, but do rub them down with my shirt before reinstalling them.

 

Actually I once had a set of cornerlights that burned out prematurely for no apparent reason. I could not think of another reason other than the fact that I touched them. But I have touched the PolarGs I have in there now many times and I have had them for months without problems.
