TESTING halogen headlight bulbs (TRICKY) bulb looks fine but still BAD
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Sometimes you can look at the halogen lightbulb, the filament looks fine but the bulb could still be bad. A lot of times there’s black on the inside of the bulb which will let you know right away the bulb is bad. This is not always the case however. In this video I show a lightbulb where the filament looks really pretty good. The filament is not broken at all, but if you take a really close look through A magnifying glass you can see black on the filament. If we test the bulb with some jumper wires on the battery this will show you that one of the filaments is working and one of them is not. You don’t wanna buy parts unless you know that the part is bad

Straight to the point. Thanx.
I'm the idiot that bought new bulbs for my motorcycle. Now I just tested the old ones using this method and they turned on. Guess I have a wiring issue. Thanks for video
Based on what I watched in your video, the high beam is the one on the bottom and the bright/high beam is the one on top, the spring/filament that has a reflector itself, is this right?
Unbeatable info video 👍🇬🇧
Great video! my HRV doesn't have those bulbs but the replace and removal is virtually identical - i think this video might have been how i learned how to do it several years ago lol.... the tricky part now is when the bulb is actually fine, putting a new one in doesn't light up either, and the fuses are fine 😭 any ideas? might have to be a mechanic job i guess

On these bulbs which is the same ones for my scion xb 2006, are the three terminals on it 1 ground and 2 positives or are they 2 grounds and 1 positive? Because both my headlights are not turning on and only the low beams wires on both connectors is not reading anything but I want to know if I'm supposed to be looking for ground or positive on the low beam wire? The other 2 wires I do get 12v but not on the low beam wire. High beams turn on by the way no problem.
Thanks
Great video. Many thanks.
Please someone test this ''oil from fingers' thing and halogen lamps.. It sounds like bollocks. I'm willing to bet it is bollocks.
It's mostly a black screen.
