Well, any time a Glow Plug is out it is OK to ream the Carbon out.
As nice as the Glow Plug Light is if your Engine is staring up OK that indicates that part of the Relay is working.
I hand One Glow Plug that was OK with the Ohm Meter but when I pulled and tested it was getting hottest in the center of the tip of the Glow Plug. You really need to go by the Symptoms.
If the GPs Ohm out OK and they are getting they required Voltage but you still have Symptoms of bad Glow Plugs you won't know till you pull them all and check them on the Battery.
As far as the Beru Glow Plugs go it is nice that the don't snap off as easily as the Bosch ones. But, the ones that came with the Engine OE are the ones that People are snapping off because they have been in the Engine for a long time.
If when you installed the Bosch Glow Plugs and used a Never-seeze type compound on the Threads or that Beru Glow Plug Grease; I think they said on the whole body of the Plug; the only reason left for them to get seized in the Head is if Carbon got past the sealing area/shoulder on the Glow Plug.
