Can you test a car's lightbulb?

Hey,

Ok, so my alarm flashes the parking lights with arm/disarm, and keeps them lit if the car's been remotely started.  For some reason, the driver's front parking light didn't want to light up anymore at all, and the passenger's one only lit up during arm/disarm.  Now, both of them are dead.  What gives?  I checked the hazards fuse in the kick panel, as well as the hazards fuse under the hood, and they're both fine.  I didn't check the parking light fuse on the alarm yet because that's a little involved as of yet (plus the rear parking lights work fine).  Could I have killed the parking lights in the front? I think there's 2 bulbs behind each lense.  (It's a '92 Integra).  Any ideas on how I could test the bulb to save me from buying 4 of them first (and that might not even be the problem?)  Can I just give the bottom of the bulb 12v+ and the side ground...and it should light up?  By the way, they don't work when you turn on the lights, either.  Is there a fuse that I'm missing?

Thanks!

What I suspect happened was that something is shorted. Do you have any foglights or anything else hooked up to the parking lights wire???

Nope, just the wire from the alarm.  It's weird, though, because the back ones still work.  Maybe I shorted something, and it blew the front bulbs only?
