Message	I've had two burn out (one on each side) in the last week. They only lasted 3 months each.... They were 9005's converted to run in my low beams, but I cleaned them with alchohol, and made a point of not touching the bulbs before that anyway. The filaments burned out, they didn't shatter or anything. Any idea why? My PIAA Superwhites were more expensive, but a better "value" as they lasted a heck of a lot longer.
