Yelp. They Killed My Headlights And Horn

[omega36]

Hey guys,

Was hoping to get a bit of help on this one. Due to a few people who enjoy driving their cars in to me, my car went in for some minor body work repairs (rear bumper respray, front bar respray, front-left guard).

It took until dark, but I noticed that my headlights were funky - only one side was projecting, and when trying the high beams, they (or it) went nowhere.

They were working before I took the car in, and they certainly did do something, as my original parking bulbs were white, but are now yellow, so I can at least assume they replaced the bulbs.

High-beams on (makes a bright light, but projects nothing)

High-beam projection on (not doing much)

Other light does nothing with high-beams on

Sort-of working high-beam

Dipped beams

Dipped beams (not really working side)

Projection of said dipped beams

My second problem is the horn. This certainly was working as well - but was not working properly upon getting my car back. When I press the horn, the one horn (on the right, when facing the front of the car) lets out a quiet version of what it should be. Nothing comes from the horn on the left at all.

I did find two unplugged grounding cables, but have no freaking idea where they belong. I'm sure these were not obviously visible before - could these affect the horn at all? Or even the headlight problem?

Extended:

(there is another one, just to the left)

I'd appreciate some help with this, I'm taking my car to Tasmania this week and I need it to be working I did try my mechanic, and others in the area, but everyone is on holiday!

If you want to bring it to my place (Werribee) tomorrow (Tuesday), I'll have a look at it for you.

hey blind_elk - thank you so much for the offer.

i actually ended up taking it to the original repairers, and they found that it was the grouding wires that needed to be reconnected up - so all good now
