Simply bring the light tester close to each bulb. The tester’s indicator will light up when it’s near a functioning bulb.

Why do LED Christmas lights have 3 wires?
The string uses a full-wave rectifier (improves flicker) and splits the diodes between the plug end and receptacle end (so both plug and receptacle are not too large). So for an extra wire per bulb this design gains redundancy- one bulb of any or multiple pairs can be missing or open and the string still lights.
