glow plug ohm test

I'd like to do an ohm test on the glow plugs with the valve cover in place,. I bought the pig tail wire harness to make it easier to do an ohm test, Not having done this before, I'm asking for advice from the obs gurus. I don't want to short out anything..
Thanks.

Thanks
I'm waiting for the pigtail to arrive sometime middle of next week. Then I'll make some time to test the glow plugs.

my opinion on this is:
if you have questions on the reliability of the glow plugs because the engine is not starting rite, just change them.
it is cheap insurance.
