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.
