Problem with head light bulbs

[parli22]

I wanted to replace the stock head light bulbs from 55/65 watt light bulbs. To APC head light bulbs 45/85 watt light bulbs. I all ready tryed once to replace these bulbs and the both shattered. I did everything right, didn't touch the bulbs ever used the hedalight gel. I would like some suggestion if possible.

What shattered? The glass?? There should be no way of touching the glass (even if you wanted too) until after the bulb is pulled out of the headlight socket. The black plastic (the base) that the glass is mounted in is permanent. Your new bulb should have a black plastic base that you hold it by and you put it in the headlight housing and rotate a half turn to lock it in.

Same for taking the bulbs out...grab the black plastic base and rotate a half turn to unlock and pull it out.

your bulbs didn't happen to "blow up" after or while it was raining, or did you notice it after it was raining...if water gets in there when the bulb is hot, they will blow..i know, did this on my 1989 cougar...pain in the ass to fix water from getting in those headlights!!

I Solve my problem I put de-electric grease in the headlight i got it from the auto store. also I did a little siliconing of the headlight and they might be possible leaks.
