If the lights are fed off the correct Load (NOT battery/starter) side of the ammeter Id expect a working ammeter to register a - discharge if they are switched ON. Pass a magnet over the ammeter front n see if you can make the needle deflect - and + as it should if its not stuck.
Next make sure allllllll loads PLUS the Generators output are BOTH fed off one side of the ammeter the load side, while theres usually just one wire over on the other Supply side which gets to the batetrys hot ungrounded post, often via a wire to where the big battery cables attaches to a starter switch or solenoid.
If the lights were accidentally fed from the ammeters supply terminal (one that wires to battery/starter) they wouldnt show a minus ammeter discharge as they should cuz its NOT passing through the ammeter.
