Why do you need to test them before putting them on the car? Put them on switch your lights on, hey presto!! They'll either work or not..


Welcome :afro:

They most probably need coding to work properly. The car needs to be told that they are fitted so that it knows how to turn them on.

With modern Can-Bus wiring, components don't get a 12V direct feed from the switch/fusebox, it's more like a signal transmitted down the wire. If the car is sending the wrong signal to the lights, they won't work.

Cheers for the link, how much did you pay? If you add up the list prices it costs £468 without the trim thing you were on about and I have seen them cheaper on another site
