A chevy is a car, but a car doesn't have to be a chevy...
Most brand name dielectrics are silicone based, and last a little longer than vaseline, but in the end, they tend to pick up the same amount of dirt and other stuff making the time between cleanings about the same...
Plus, if you say dielectric grease to someone, half the time you get a Q&A session about it, vaseline just about everyone knows what it is, and most have at home...

Good morning,just finnished searching the threads for info on losing my low beam!Had no low beam for about a week now and then lost high beam last night on the way home from work.Put my new bulb in and still no low?Unplugged my eastern beaver relay and put the bulb in the OEM socket and still no low beam! My assumption is the switch it toast,anyone else had this happen?Thanks in advance. Hopey

Well... Since vaseline is actually dielectric, it is in fact dielectric grease...
