On the actual light switch, where it looks like the green is connected, thats the horn. Does your cover have a small black switch, thats the kill switch which should run all the way to your ht coil. I will try and work the others out. Is this switch original or remade. What engine is in the scooter.

Hi GL Scoot, It has a small side kill switch, 125 engine 6 volt, I think the switch is original, Cheers lcs

Red wire is your kill switch. Try connecting yellow to the connection above the red wire and remove the white wire. Im pretty sure you do not need to earth the switch, just like the rear break switch is not earthed.

As your light is in two parts each part will need earthed
