You've probably got the wires the wrong way round on the lamps. Red grey then black from left to right. Folks often think the black earth wire goes in the middle. It doesnt.

I am not sure if the 1800 uses the same contact design in the steering wheel as the Amazon but I had problems with intermittent horn. It turned out that the contact rings inside the steering wheel (which are silver plated) had corroded. Carefully cleaned with Brasso and all back to normal.
