That meter will work fine to test for checking resistance of the bulb and for checking for +12volts.
Put on resistance setting (in ohms) and touch leads together. It should read zero or very close to it. Then read across bulb, it should read very low.
For voltage check, put on voltage setting and put one lead on +12volt line and the other on ground. Practice by reading across your battery. If you battery reads -12v, switch the leads around. Red is positive, black is negative.
Next time by a Fluke 73 or something similar. They are pretty cheap, very reliable and have auto level settings.....however, yours will work fine for most applications.
