you haven't proven the light's lit by measuring bulb current, only
that there's a current path through the bulb or socket to ground.

And, for what it's worth, I thought a lot of new cars HAD LED turn signals
etc.

Most of the stop lights here are LEDs now. And somebody who knows tells me
they're making the railroad signals LED.
