Checking Fog Lights

[30six]

Is there a way to check fog lights to see if they work? I do not have a 6V battery handy. Can I use 6v battery charger to power them?

Thanks!

6 volt charger should work fine to test them provided it puts out enough amps. Or, if you have two lights you can hook them up in series to your 12 volt battery to test them (i.e. the current must go through one light then the next light to complete the circuit). Of course, testing them that way, if one is bad neither will work and you won't know which it is. But if both work - there you are.

Three flashlight batters will give you 6 volts pressed togeather, each is good for 1.5 volts each, three will light your light, for a test.....may not see down the road, but it will test you light for you ............. been there done that ..........its raining here in northern Calif. the redwood are getting wet, so is my pasture..........OLD........BILL

3 X 1.5 volts is only 4.5 volts. It takes 4 X 1.5 to get 6 volts.
