I heard from a few different people that if you touch the bulbs while installing them, the oil from your hand will heat up and blow your bulb. I also would take into account that crappy products = crappy results

majority of the aftermarket bulbs that are hid simulation run at a higher wattage than stock 55. 55 for the dc5 is the max amount anything higher will go kablooie! I'm on my second set of stupid bulbs (they warrantied it) and the dc 5's engine compartment is so cramped around the head light area, I don't want to deal with it again... So if these go kaput (most likely), I'll just throw my stock set back in.
