PRO TIP: DO NOT touch the glass area on the new bulbs as oils on your skin can contaminate the glass. If you do touch the glass make sure to wipe it down with a soft cloth before fully installing the globe.
If you are replacing one globe you may as well replace the other as side as well as the lifespans of the bulbs are more or less the same.
