Hella trumpet horns, Honk if you’re horny… Options

Thinking about replacing my stock horns with something like these (Hella T24):

Various sites seem to indicate they will (physically) fit… They pull 72W each! So 12A total. The horn fuse is 16A, but it also runs the two 55W accessory driving lights in the bumper, which in my Euro spec car go on with the high beams. So imagine driving with the high beams on and having to honk… Only momentary, but that’s like a 21-22A draw thru that fuse. I guess in order to avoid this possibility, I am going to need an additional fuse and relay… Hmmm.

Mostly I was interested in knowing if these things will actually fit in the same place as the OEM pancake horns - they being considerably thicker and the space behind the bumper being pretty limited.

I installed 96-97 VW Golf/Jetta high and low tone horns in my 914 in the stock two horn configuration locations. I used the factory female plugs from the golf/jetta and put spade connectors on the ends of the pigtail ends to connect to the factory locations in the 914 harness and the factory golf/jetta metal brackets. They sound amazing too.
