You can always pull them out and turn the key to see if they glow nice and bright.

I get black smoke if I keep the throttle pedal down when starting.  A sure sign
of unburned fuel.  I'm pretty sure the glow plugs are bad although they test
good.  A test I didn't do was the voltage drop test at start up.  The battery
should sag when the glow plugs engage.  If I just crank and crank with no
throttle she will start to cough.  It's then when I can give a little throttle
and she will start.  Lawrence Rhodes....
