With this other style that is being recommended where do I connect it?
That ring opens up like this:
Then you just put it over the positive or negative battery cable like this:
You can wire the meter you have now between the positive cable and the battery and get the same reading. BUT your meter maxes out at 10 amps, so at 1.5 amp per bulb, 10 bulbs =15 amps, and you blow the fuse in the meter before you can get a reading.
The clamp on type that Roy suggested is good because you don't have to disconnect any wiring, you can easily take readings at any point.
Here's a
YouTube Video on how to use a clamp-on meter.
