Apc Plasma Bulb Problem

Im on my second set of APC super plasma headlight in less then 6 months. I bought an extra set last month beacuse the low beam on my right side blew out. Today my left side low beam blew out. Lucky I still had the extra bulb to replace it. Why are the low beams goin out so quickly? Anyone else have this problem? Do you guys have recommendations on other bulbs that are brighther and white. I dont want purple or blue looking bulbs. Btw yes I do have the harness..

did you wipe the bulbs down with alcohol before install?

No, I thought that your not supposed to touch the bulb at all.

most of those aftermarket bulbs are garbage anyways. my PIAA's blew after 2 months. Also some other garbage i bought blew very quickly. They don't seem to last.

Just ordered my PIAA Xtreme whitee I had the Super chites before, but since I changed my lights to the JDM A32 headlights I had to change the bulbs, hope they are as good as they say they are..
