[s-cars] RE: Electrical Bulb Question

[manuel]

I tried installing the new bulb(s) but they would not illuminate, so...

I place the leads of the multi-tester :
1  across the bare wires and I got a circuit ( I pegged the needle when set to 15V)
2. Inside the bulb holder and I get a circuit (when set to check resistance?, the  Ohmns symbol)
3. Inside the bulb holder connected to the 2 wire connectors and I get a circuit ( I pegged the needle when set to 15V) (of course the headlight switch is on).
4. Insert bulb in bulb holder, no light, and no circuit when I connect the multitester, so I flip the wires around, and still nothing.
5. Remove bulb, insert multi-tester and I get a good circuit when set to 15V.
6. I try other bulbs, same effect, same result, no illumination.

WTF!

Any ideas?

Thanks.
