I found that mine didn't like GE bulbs at all (annoying since I worked for GE at the time) but it was fine with Philips. > I don't want a police > officer to notice a bulb out before I do and write ma a ticket.

Equipment violations aren't worth points anyway, at least not in this state. But, you asked for options, I suggested one that works for me. The documented safety improvements and convenience are, to me, worth more than an extra bulb or two a year and the possibility for a hypothetical but highly unlikely points-bearing ticket.
