OEM Quad Headlight Grill info

[Jamtarts]

Hi,

I managed to pick up an OEM Quad Headlight grill, for my Mk 8v gti, to replace the debagded grill that was on the car when I bought it.  I eventually got round to fitting it today, however the second set of lights don't work, as far as I can see I've plugged the cables in properly.

I am not sure about the grill at all, and I wondered if anyone had any info on it, just in case I'm doing anything silly?  Is there a switch for them I should press, maybe it could be the fuse or the bulbs are damaged due to the postal transit? 

I'm hoping it's something really simple and it's easy to sort, has anyone any ideas I could check before taking it to auto electrician?

thanks in advance

Have you tried ignition on and then switching on full beam?

Use a multimeter to continuity test the light loom to the lights.

Pics help.

Or check for 12v at the lights when you should have, ie when switched on full beam. If not, work your way back through wiring

Well about 9v standard at the most, unless he's upgraded his loom.

Doesn't matter, if there's power there then the bulbs are gone

Thanks guys, I'll try and have a go at them tomorrow, I don't have a multimetre and I've never used one before but I'll see if I can get my mate on the case and check it, I'm hoping it's something silly and I don't have to take it off again

I did get a couple of pics on the mobile, i'll try and post them just now, but I'm not sure if they'll help,
