It's basic electrical troubleshooting. Get yourself a cheap test lamp and go to town.

The horn is a live circuit that grounds through the steering wheel.

The headlight switch takes power from the fuse box, runs it through a switch on the dash to the individual headlights which are grounded to the inner fenders.
