Passenger headlight bulb burned out...

I upgraded to some Phillips H7 55w like a month ago and now my passenger side burned out already. WTF?

Did you touch the bulb with your fingers when you installed it? The oils from your skin can ruin a bulb's life span.

Nope. I just think this is ridiculous that it burned out this fast and I've had it for about a month and a half. And it's actually a Hella, not Phillips.

I asked the guy at the store before I bought it if I could return it and he said no if it's been opened.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Try to get a refund

but first check it is plugged in fully.
If they wont
get 4 65 watt rally H7 bulbs with the H9 burner from
www.danielsternlighting.com
They last long,throw tons of light,and the 15 extra watts don't pop up bulb warnings.

Polish your plastic lenses.

Yeah, I just got out of class and I'm gonna go check out what the store says. Maybe if I call Hella or something I can get a refund. I think now I'll just go with the HID Kit from DDM Tuning.

Update: Went to the store, told this guy about the problem and we pulled it out and it was busted so he gave me one for free. Cool guy. I'll wait on the HID's for now.
