i dont think so cause a test light works with 12v and i doubt the fuel injectors are 12v. what you do to see if your fuel injectors work is start the car put a long screw driver on the top of the injector then put your ear on the handle and listen for a ticking. no ticking means its broke.

You can,But it will be really dim..

I have used a 194 light bulb before but it would
probably be best if you used a 6 volt lamp or a meter..

I take them out and touch a wire to the negative terminal and one to the positive terminal of a battery and see if they click.
