Hm...I thought the position lights were the red/green on the wingtips.
I keep a set of all bulbs for replacement and the boxes are clearly
marked not to handle with bare hands. Mine aren't halogen tho.
strange...

It is strange... Those bulbs are not as fragile as the average 60 watt
household lightbulb. Yeah, it's always nice to keep them clean of
fingerprints and oil, but considering all the dirt and oil on them that
tends to work its way past the seals... I suspect it's a *generic*
warning/suggestion.

The ones you really should be careful of are the strobes, since those are
usually about the only high intensity ones where you can actually get your
fingerprints on the inner shell.
