The GP resistance is very high/open circuit when it fails. Not zero. GP in general measures at very low resistance, < 2 ohm, are good. I reckon all the old one your replaced are good. When GP glows, the resistance will kind of reaching a steady state and draws about 10 to 12A. Most GP are rated at 120-150W ( battery voltage x current drawn, 12v x 12A = 144W ).
