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

https://www.amazon.de/HELLA-Frequenzbereich...urce=1&th=1

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.

@chmillman

You could swap the headlights to LED and reduce the draw on the circuit. If you add a relay the load still have to be drawn from some circuit.
