Re: Right side headlight has a green color...
Ah, my bad. I thought that you were working on a system that used
replacable lamps with non-replacable reflectors and lenses, instead of
entire sealed PAR lamps. Forget what I said about skin oils.

Don't worry about the sealed beams, it's the actual halogen globes that
are verbotten to touch.

Re: Right side headlight has a green color...
If it's a TJ headlight, you don't have to worry about touching the bulb.
TJ's use a round sealed beam headlight, and you can't touch the bulb inside.
Many, if not most vehicles now use a separate bulb and headlight assembly,
and you should NOT touch those bulbs.
If you decide not to go with the Silverstars, I would recommend the Sylvania
X-Tra Vision. MUCH brighter than the Cool Blues, and longer lasting also.
