Sounds like the horn contacts may be shorting out. I had to rebuild my horn with a kit from Corvette Central.
As for the lights, I had a similiar problem with my front signals and parking lights. After checking fuses and bulbs, the problem ended up being the Black connectors in the wiring harness where it pulls apart. I disconnected and lubricated the connectors.
No more light problems.

Horn contact is grounding when the wheel is turned. Pull the cap and contact and check the little plastic insulator. Careful: there's a spring in there.
Make sure the rear wiring harness has a good ground on the frame. Wouldn't hurt to clean the area where it bolts to the rear X-member.
Been there, done that.
Cruise and enjoy.
