You’re right! As unlikely as it seemed to me, BOTH H7 bulbs I had in my parts box - both boxed and unused, a Hella and done off-brand thing - tested bad! No light when 12v applied, no continuity when put on the meter. Just to confirm I swapping in tge working bulb from the right side, and it lit normally. I used to buy Hella H7s off of eBay since they usually ran about $7 apiece - at local parts stores they’re twice as much it more. We used to gave 3 Saabs that used them, so bought them in quantity. Down to just my ‘01 Aero as far as H7s are concerned, so I guess I’ll just buy a few more.
I think maybe the bad bulbs in their boxes were the result of other orange relay adventures years ago; I don’t think these bulbs fail from just age, sitting in boxes unused.
Thanks again for your advice - it just never occurred to me that I might have multiple bad bulbs.
