I've installed Hella air horns in my van - it is a fairly easy installation.
What I did was use the existing horn wire to a relay for the switch, and ran a
new wire from the battery to the relay for power. I added an in-line fuse to the
power wire just to be safe.

Email me offlist if you need more specific details.
