Its so good of you to share useful information with other technicians. Most power supplies have at their secondary output different voltage outputs that are suitable for particular circuits. Now a particular output voltage could be 24v, but how do I detemine the necessary output current flow, because a wrong choice of improper bulb wattage may lead to a high current flow that may cause harm to some components in the circuit because the improvised load might not match the designed consumer unit. And also how long should the bulb testing take? The little I know in electronics - I learned it mostly in this website, thanks Jestine, Humphrey, Parasuraman, Albert, Suranga, Waleed and all the rest, God bless you.

Parasuraman S I have that same ATX power supply tester. It works well.

It is never a bad thing to make a few new quick testtools.
Most small car double-filament front headlight bulbs have 2 different lights in one. Low beam and high beam. For which as far I know only 3 connectorpins are needed to show the two bulbs light up. One for ground and two for both halogen bulbs. Which gives the H4 front lightbulb in the Fiat Panda the option to light up the 'dipped' lightbulb or the stronger 'main beam'light. And they are at max about 65 Watt each at 12V (left and right).
Not mentioning the connectors for the also available beam motors in both headlights that control the position of the light beam.
