Default RE: Headlight Socket keeps burning up :(

The only luck I had today was bad luck.

I went to my girlfriend's house to install my new headlights and everything fell apart. I attached my new headlight socket and inserted my new headlight bulb. Did a quick turn of the headlight **** and everything seemed to be in working order. So I fought like heck with my headlight bulb trying to put it back in place correctly using that VERY annoying pin/spring thing that holds the bulb in place. I finally got it in then turned my headlights back on. After a few seconds there was a loud POP. Guess what happened? My brand new headlight bulb BLEW UP!

Now I'm assuming these aren't the right/correct bulbs to be using. So as I go to put my old working bulbs back in, the stupid little pin/spring came off in my hand.

Are these meant to come all the way out? Or did I break something AGAIN? I was so mad that I just said forget and decided I'll deal with the mess tomorrow.

You know your not suppose to touch the actual bulb itself, the oils form your hand will make it blow.
