New Glow Plugs

Hello again, I have yet another problem with my car, as I've come to expect it now.

I changed the glowplugs on my car yesterday, which was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Wire them up, and the car started fantastically (Better than ever). Drove it around, the car was great to have running again after replacing a whole bunch of stuff.

However, this morning, I went to start the car, and the glowplug light did not come on. I was immediately concerned. I checked the wiring, which was fine, I checked the connections, the battery, turned the key many times, but no light.

I thought that maybe, one or two of the connections was backwards and worked to reconnect everything. This did not work. When I rewired a glowplug backwards, every time the cylinder with the backwards connection turned over (when I was cranking the engine), it made a snapping sound, which was bad. However, I did get the glowplug light on when the connection(s) were backwards. After about 2 hours of re-rewiring, I got it back to normal. It cranks, no snapping, but no glowplug light, and it doesn't start.

What did I do wrong.
