I installed them and they went fine.
On my way to school i got this warning on my i-drive (RIGHTSIDE TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTION)
I pulled out the bulb and it was cracked and burnt!!!!!!!
ARG BIMMIAN!

I never asked you if they were working fine , I asked if you touched them with your hands. When you installed them

My Ride: E60 M5
I just sent back my whole set. I ised Latex gloves to install. The right side blew out on me within a few flashes. They were also WAAY to dim to be safe (and yes, they are the version 2's). I'm gonna get store credit and find something else to buy. Went to my local auto parts atore and picked up some Phillips Silvervisions. They have a weird blue hue to them, but still better than the egg yolks. They also flash about as bright as OEM. The Solaris bulbs are junk, IMO.
