Testing spitfire headlights


LouisW

Recommended Posts

I bought a bonnet for my spitfire and it came with some headlights installed in it. Ones a lucas (I guess factory) and the others just a sealed beam that must be newer. Is there a way to test that the headlights work alright? My spitfire isn't in a state to be connecting up my headlights etc just yet and was thinking of selling these on to recoup some of my bonnet money.
Would connecting a battery charger directly to the terminals and grounding it out work?
There's 3 pins on the back of the headlamps.

3 pins - dipped, main and earth
Just get 2 lengths of wire....cpnnect one to bat neg, the other end to the erath terminal and in turn connect the other wire to each terminal on unit from bat pos - you are only wanting to power the lamp filament to see if lights up
