Extremly simple eletrical question.

Ok this is frigging ridiculous. Ive wired lights, accessories, have taken 2 electrical engineering courses, and i can't figure what the hell is going on.

Im trying to wire up my blinkers on my ARB bumper... DEERRR....

Ok. I get 12V to bulb mounting surfaces... Great... COOL... easy.

Put bulb in, test, 0V.... No lighting of bulb.

Ok... bulb must be burnt... Nope, tested fine with ohm-meter and it lights up when connected to 12v battery.

WHAT THE HELL is causing the reading to drop to 0 volts with bulb in place!?!?!?

I got them working...

I integrated a harness so I could easily disconnect the lamps to take off the bumper...

They worked fine with my fog lamps... Apparently they won't work with turn signals. I donno wtf was going on.

So nevermind
