On my diesel, I found it a good idea to check each glow plug individually and only replace those that are burned out. Although I have several ohn meters, etc., I use a 12v backup light wired to a couple wires. One wire goes to the hot terminal of the battery, second goes to terminal at glowplug, (disconnect glowplug wire at terminal). What you"ve done is to connect bulb in sereis with glowplug - if light lights, glow plug is OK. Be careful removing dud plugs. Can be corroded, and head can break off in your wrench. Or, business end of plug may have ruptured, and expanded, making it difficult or implssible to remove. If you can get a voltmeter on your battery, check the voltage with glow plug system off, and then on. Glow plugs on should show a significant voltage drop when on. Be careful not to run plugs for more than a few seconds, as they can overheat and burn out. In normal operation, your glow plug relay system should take care of this.
