    Evening all,

    Let me fill you in briefly on the happenings running up to this.

    Me and Alex Barnes (from here), fitted some Wireless LEDS to my scooter, wired it straight upto the battery and everything ran fine (I didn't check the horn)..

    It's overdue on a service by around 600 miles, it's going in for it on Tuesday though.. but the other night I realised my horn wasn't working, thankfully I was only trying to beep at Alex and not a dickhead driver getting in the way as they usually do.

    We got it back to mine, and took the front off the scoot to see if a wire had come loose and it hadn't, so I'm not sure whats causing the horn not to work, I've charged the battery overnight as well and also disconnected the LEDs to see if it makes a change.

    And now after we've put the cover back on the scoot and left it over night I've noticed my right headlight doesn't work, it does on highbeam but not on dipped, my left headlight works fine though..

    Does anyone have a possible solution to either of them.. I'm not wanting to fork out a bomb for a scooter shop to tinkle with it and realise it's something and nothing.

    Cheers!
    Ashley

    A blown bulb and adjust the screw on the horn.

    The light works now, went over a speed bump and its fine haha!

    The horn is well and truly fuckered, tried it in Alex's scoot and it didn't work, so tried his in mine and it worked fine.. even after adjusting screws and hitting it a hell of a lota times, lol.

    So I'll just get a new horn, I was wanting an air horn type thing anyway haha..

    Would this be loud do you reckon?
