yeah, they seem fine, and the foglights work too,

I'm just not sure if the grill was damaged in transit (maybe bulbs or loose cables) or if it's the car's wiring, or indeed the fuses,

You have wired them up properly??

One wire goes to the Bulb and the other pushes onto the lamp casing under the rubber cap...

I'll need to check that, the wiring was already connected to them, I assumed they'd be ok, but I'll have a look at that as well, I just fitted the connectors on the car and the grill(I assume it was the correct connectors) together.  I'm now thinking I wonder if the guy who put the old grill maybe disconnected the wires when he fitted the old grill?

Simple.... The red probe into one slot.

The Black into the other and turn the dial to 0-24V= and read what it says......

One way will say 12 the other will say -12 (or there abouts)...

But Mind and have the blue full beam light on within the console....

These are driving lamps, not fog or side lights and only work on full beam...

aha, aha, aha!!!!   Thanks, that's fixed it, I didn't realise I didn't have the full beam on, I found how to put the blue light on just now and they work fine now.

and I've got got a shiny new multimeter out of it too :D,

Thanks very much everyone for your help, I could have looked very silly taking that into a garage to get fixed :D ,
