i have one of those horns that go awooooga (or somthing). it only draws about 2 amp. so you can take a live off something else if its high enough rated i would recommend the fag lighter.

Sorry to be a party-pooper

If it's anything other than a monotone (be it a single, or twin trumpet)
Ie; musical, train whistle or the vintage ('awooooga') it's illegal for road use on a post 73 registered vehicle

wire it up with a fused feed off the battery though a relay and have a button on the dash for it DONT connect it to your normal horn as btm says its a ill eagle you still need your normal horn as well.
