[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 137457, member: 468"]You can take a chance on a quick touch to a battery. If they're 6 volt they'll just burn out and they're pretty much useless anyway unless you've got a 6 volt vehicle. The following should not be done close to a battery as a spark could make it explode! Get your jumper cables out. Safely stretch them all the way out and separate the cables on one end. Clamp the others to the battery as color coded red to positive. Take the safe ends and put negative, black, to the body of the light. Touch the wire to the positive clamp. If the bulb, socket and wire is good the bulb will light.[/QUOTE]
