I presume you are not refeering to H7 bulbs as there is no reason to touch the glass on these when replacing

FYI, I replied to this post a while back with the following

"In 6 years of ownership using dipped headlights night and day so 90,000 miles with headlights on I have had to replace both bulbs up to twice a year, probably 20 bulbs by now, I now always carry several spares and because I have found no difference between cheap and expensive I now seek out the cheap whenever I can, Aldi & Lidil do them from time to time."

I should have mentioned that they were H7 bulbs
