Where to start troubleshooting headlights

I have a project car that I recently bought. 08, three door Mark V GTI.
I have all the components for the headlights, but no headlights will shine, blinkers work.

Is there a way to bench test the ballast and the igniters? All advice i see online relates to switching to the working side until you find the failed component.

I have a clunking sound when i try the high beams, but nothing else

I have new bulbs, and used everything else. Wires to the igniters have damaged insulation (from heat I presume).

Any ideas of where to start?
