Hi - Just coming to end the of my restoration and checking all my wiring is correct.

The wiring diagram says take the white wire from the light switch and connect it to the horn. Obviously the white isnt long enough to connect straight into the horn, so Im assuming I need to connect it to a new wire via the junction box/bulb holder then take that wire down to the horn instead? if thats the case, can anyone point me in the direction of where I can get said wire?

By the way, its for a li150 s3, 12v ignition, MB loom.

You will have two wires going to the horn, one from the loom either brown or purple that's the live feed, and the White wire which is an earth for the horn from the handle bar mounted switch.
As you say fit a new wire to the white via the j/box as it's too short or just fit a new length of wire by cutting the old and soldering a new length of 5amp wire to fit directly to the horn
