Uh oh...

[hydrabusa]

Just finish install HID...but, when I'm doing the high beam, I think glass part or not, touched wall on the way in to the housing...

 

So, is this mean I'm getting high beam burn out in a few hours? few weeks?  

So, if that happens, is the anyway we can get the replace parts? or I just ate the $$$  

anyone knows what I do next...

You mean you touched the glass of the bulb with your fingers?

Good question. I know your not supposed to touch halogens as the oil from yer fingers will shorten the life of the bulb... or so i've read.

 

[hydrabusa]

Nuhh no...not the finger I grab the base part and moving in the housing and front somewhere was touching the sponge or plastic, I felt it on my hand...( I was swearing worse than Al Pacino...

It's the skins oil that causes a reaction in bulbs. Touching plastic shouldn't hurt it.

Yep, touching the halogen bulb with your hand will ruin it in a matter of a couple hours. The oils in your skin do something to the glass.

I would not think you would have a problem if the bulb just touched the housing.........

like everyone said so far-if it WAS your finger/skin that touched, pull it back out n rinse with a lil alchohol, but if it just touched plastic-u shud be ok...if it rubbed against some spongy stuff thats dirty, id still try to take it out n re-inspect bulb-if she looks ok Id put it back n cross my fingers.

I'll ask G about this next time i talk w/him...let ya know about spare parts n stuff soon.

 

[BigDiesel]

next time, do the HID install, THEN go drink yer beer!

sorry, jes

hope yer bulbs r ok bro.

 

[dadofthree]

[ilwu23busa]

[sully]

the oils from your hands create a "hotspot" of sorts on the bulb and that is what kills them, if it touched plastic then you have no worries. Good luck!

 

[BigGeorge]

The alcohol should do the trick. Unless you already lite the bulb. That might be a problem

Just FYI... my link to the Group Buy has vanished so from now on all support/questions will now be handled on ExtremeBusa

+1 on the oils from your fingers make a hot spot and burn out the bulb.

Simple rules?

I asked permission from Shawn, and then I went through KS just like he told me to before posting the Group Buy. I'm well aware I'm not a sponsor but as I said, I asked permission weeks before I posted the Group Buy.

The thread had over 500 posts... how did you not know that I was running a Group Buy Doug?

And I don't recall XenonKing being a sponsor.

Last time I checked the first post said the group buy was over, I have left that post up for a long time...... It seems that we have split our ways and you have other interest now Im not sure I see the problem. What  needs do you have to keep that post up other than to get more business or discuss your products? I think that you have a place to do that now why keep posting here?
