6 or 12 volt lights

How can you tell if a light is a 6 or 12 volt light. these are the lights in question. I put the one in the chrome housing the other is in a factory ford housing but not sure of details of it.

Take the bulb out and see if it says in the back or if it has a part number you can search. Or hook it up to 12v and see if it blows, that's how I usually check

 

Hook it to 12V. If it burns out, it was 6V
If it's a sealed beam, it might say so on the back or there may be a number that you can reference.

Edit...looks like ev88f and I are brothers from a different mother

 

or hook it up to 6v and see if it is dim or bright. Dim=12v bulb Bright =6v bulb

 

Thanks guys. I guess i didn't think through that one well
