Greasing light bulbs before install?
A friend of mine suggested that I grease the metal contact points of light bulbs on my 1991 GMC Sonoma when I change them, to avoid having them get stuck later on (I just had to remove a stuck one, very nasty).
For break, backup, turn signal, hood light, etc. Has anyone tried this, or know if it's safe? My friend does it on all of his trucks with no problem, but I'm still a little unsure about it.

Re: Greasing light bulbs before install?
Di-electric grease is used anywhere moisture and corrosion are more frequent...use it also on your trailer plug-in also. Another product you might be able to use is in a spary can it's mainly used on ignition componets to prevent water from drowning out your plug wires. (unfortunatly I forget what it was called) but most automotive stores carry it
