As they come the horns are wired to be controlled by a relay and also were not properly insulated so they both had a direct short to the horn body. I had to correctly insulate them and change the wire connection arrangement in them so that they would work off of the original button.
They sound terrible, too.

If they don't sound like the original..They are junk..I would never consider them..Rather have no horn.
A while back I sent a brief video of my car running to an author I know who writes books about the Dillinger era. They were especially impressed of the sound of my horn. Everyone knows about the aohhhga horns of the Model A but few people realize that the later horns of the 30's have a very unique sound of all their own.
