Usually it is the first one on the line(from the receptical) that isn't burning. It will make all those behind it not work. Some are different so I usually just throw them out and buy some new ones. Time to repair vs. cost to replace

Remove a bulb.
Short out the 2 terminals inside the socket by any conductor. (Be careful here. Use a short length of insulated wire with the ends stripped off).
If the rest of the bulbs light up when you do this, then the one that you have just removed is the culprit.
If not, replace the bulb and try the next one. And so on.....

You can buy a tester that you put to the bottom of each bulb to see if it works....or you can pull the bulbs out and replacing each as you go along until you find the culprit.....OR like the first answer said just go out and buy new ones it's much easier to do.

If its the old fashion kind of lights then you need to check each one individually with a spare light bulb. If you have my luck the one that is close to the end is the one that is burnt out.

Well I might have answer for you... You could maybe go to your local harware store (walmart), and see if they have a bulb tester. That may work because it worked for me!

They're usually cheap enough to buy a new set. Too much trouble vs. the cost!
