        there are a number of ways you can see the difference.
I found that just cutting the switches out of the current path
by jumping a wire from terminal 30 to the M2 slotted changed
things quite a bit. You could also pull the bulb and shove the
multimeter prongs into the hot wire connection iirc - I don't
think the 9004 connector was totally sealed - and measure
voltage to ground.
