The oils in your finger break down the bulb and yes they could pop or shorten the life.Headlights are easy to do, its 2 or 3 clips and 2 harnesses to take off. I can have mine off in 25 seconds.

It's true about the oil in your fingers can mess up the light. It is incredibly easy to put HIDs in and I love mine alot. It explains it in the owners manual how to replace the stock bulbs.
