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 |

If one light works, it's not the switch or the Hi/Lo relay. Spin the fuse in the fuse holder . If the other lamp will light, there is power at one side of the fuse. The wire goes directly from the fuse to the lamp.
