Actually I have no idea. Give it a shot and we will find out. Even if a cigar never gets here due to a mysterious event I can't see anyone having to pay an insane price for a cheap over the counter relay. Just label the cigar as a gift if asked what it is and cross your fingers. We can hope Canada Customs is up to their usual standards of variable diligence.

The horn is only on for a second or two, so, hopefully, depending on the draw, it shouldn't melt anything. How many amps can the regular horn wires and switch carry and what size fuse protects the horn with everything else on that circuit? You have to look at that too.

Hella's Supertone horn, part number 003399051, 116db is listed as 78 watts, which at 12v is only a 6.5 amp draw. Sorry can't find anything on stock GZ horn. The search continues

Way to go (as I=V/R) and for comparison with the stock horn, you can measure that one in place, no need to unplug anything.
