Lost my right side headlight high beam. I have another headlight bulb lying around (from PO) but have no idea if it's good or not. Since it's a bit of a bith to change bulbs on our little 914's on a maybe, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows how to test a unmounted headlight bulb. I have an ohm meter and I also have a continuity tester.
Thanks in advance David |

Check your fuses 1st, make sure it it seated properly. Replace with a NEW one just to be sure. I had one that looked good but it was not. I use a battery charger to check the lights and bulbs.
