lately with the bulbs in the pod lights.......the original bulbs that came in them lasted ~ 4-5 yrs, maybe longer.....the last few bulbs I've gotten from Valkyrieblingandmore haven't lasted as long.....I've replaced a couple of bulbs at least....one on the left, and now the one on the right is out.....I'm always careful to wipe any oil off of them and not touch them with my fingers when I replace them....I wonder if they are OEM type bulbs??.....I didn't keep the orginals, so I can't compare them......Big Mike steered me clear of using the higher wattage ones to keep me from damaging the actual lights..... cooldude

It's just a little aggravating taking the pod off to change them out so often...... Sad Sad

I recommend being very careful not to get anything on the bulb - don't even wipe it off, as your rag can leave behind lint or oils that you may not see.

Check the grounding for the pod lights. A bad ground will create higher heat in the bulb shorting its life. Also check the contacts in the bulb sockets.
