Anyone who has ever replaced headlight bulbs knows that you need to use a glove, or something completely clean (not wet wipes) to 1) get the bulb out of the package and 2) get it into the socket without touching it. Or, it will just burn out in short order.
Also, anyone who has ever bought a headlight bulb from a Walmart or Autoparts store knows that they also sell latex gloves cheap . . . . if you don't already have them.
Now, I have changed a headlight bulb once without using rubber gloves. I used the auto parts store bag as a makeshift glove. Can be done, but not recommended.
the other option is don't touch the glass of the lamp. paper towel keeps the oils of your hand off the bulb until set inside the headlight assembly. You are so lost without vocabulary defining how living needs to progress by social consensus or else society doesn't need anyone debunking reasonable doubt..
