The standard horn is not on a relay... not sure which is positive though.
Connect each wire to an earth with a bit of wire and a bulb, then press the horn
If its the positive one the bulb will light up

What age is yours as the early diagram shows a yellow and a blue.
The yellow is the positive
The blue is the switched earth

not sure how much power the horns take, dont want to blow my horn button or something daft..
how would i go about liking them to a relay?
ive found that most of the zuks electericals are negative switched and have found it to be a bit of a pain to wire in things like my spot lights to the main beam..

Use a suitable size wire from the battery fused to the relay and the same wire from the relay to the horns.
Hopefully the horns came with a diagram saying what size cable and fuse are required depending on there design current draw.
