How to Test C5 Foglights

I have the opportunity to pick up a pair of factory fog lights but won't be able to test them in place. Is there a way to test them out of the car?
Thanks for your help.

Connect power to the bulbs directly. The bulbs are replaceable. If the housing is clean and the optics are not all hazy, they should be ok.

Thanks, Gary. Is there a POS NEG requirement for the pins or can I just apply power to them without regard to polarity?

Incandescent bulbs will work either way. Polarity matters if they are LED. If LED don't work the first time swap the wires you won't hurt anything.
