I guess it would depend on the amp draw of the OEM horns compared to the new Hellas. If the Hellas will draw more juice than the stock horns, run the relay.

They are not plug and play on my 85 60 but close - they will mount in stock location but the wiring connections are spaced differently than the stock plugs.....someone posted with a photo of both - you just could not see the back of them and the connections.
can you hookup two sets of these to one vehicle?

I installed two Hellas (kit with relay) on my FJ62. Bought them from the high dollar Griots Auto mag. I also ordered the Italian Air horn just to satisfy my curiosity. Well, I hooked 'em all up and couldn't be happier. The air horn smooths out the Hellas and adds a bit of kick to them. I couldn't fit the air horn in front of the radiator but it is still effective. Go to the 3FE site and look at the files section. There are two pics and an AVI file with video and sound. Hear it for yourself.
End result... people move the hell out of the way and my wife cringes when I hit the horn. Problem solved.
Last comment, The Hellas could be moved a little closer to the middle of the grill for more effect. Use a strip of thin metal for a mounting bracket. I tied them directly to the battery via the relay.
Good luck.

I still hit my horn on occasion. I still want to get a set, sounds easy enough to install. Thanks for the info. I use my horn on a daily bases here in socal. People seem to always run the red lights. I wish I could bring an AT-4 "anti tank" weapon for those they don't speak Marine, home from works and light those drivers up.

Not my cup of tea. I'd opt for the fiamm freeway blasters or the similar magnum blasters made by some other company.
my first and foremost choice of course would be on-board air with a nice set of horns. the pop-can sized compressors seem to crap out after a short period of time so i've given up on them.
