    Is there a way to test LED's? I have two that went out very soon after installing, both yellow 55's so I am pretty sure they were just defective. But... those stupid 55 sockets have a really bad habit of being difficult. Socket lights with an incandescent lamp, and the bulbs in question don't work anywhere else, so I am 99% certain they are shot.

    Tried to put it on the meter and can't get a reading... But I tried with a good one too and no reading that way either.

    Is there a way to test LED's on a meter?

    Great ideas. Thanks. Had a feeling the meter might not work.

    (By the way... I missed a 5 in my post above - I am talking about the 555 lamps that just shove in the sockets...)
