Could anybody please help with this diagram?
I have 2 original fitted ( stock) horns in my Blobeye so where it says 'wire from stock horns' would I take an extension of both wires to original horns and fit them both to the same point on the relay?
Thanks

Just one will do, they are both the same anyway.

PS: love the "Vampire clips". They are usually known as Scotchloks in the UK. The Yanks seem a bit vampire-obsessed at the moment

Thanks for that! I manage to complicate the simplest of diagrams ha
Haha glad I didn't ask for any of them over the counter.

I bought the cheaper ones and look just as good and really easy to install with no relay to mess about with.

I've got them fitted in now without the relay and there quite an unusual sound shall we say so gonna see if the relay beefs them up. They kind of sound like there coming from a toy car behind me at the moment. I've recently had the front end resprayed including the grills so the main reason was for the look of them.

I'd use the relay...it's there to protect the car's wiring and the fuse.

Don't use Scotchloks

They are usually OK if you get the right size. The blue ones aren't good on modern thinner, thinly insulated, wires. They need the red ones.

Thats just the sound they make I'm afraid. Just make sure they're both working though.

The Scotchloks are nice when the wire you want to split is in place already.
For this application, I would strip, twist and shrinkwrap (without soldering)

Why no solder? That's against all my principles........

Soldering makes the wiring stiff, and prone to breaking under vibration.
So just twisting the wires, and using a good quality and sized piece of shrinkwrap is better imho.

Think about how many wires in the car are soldered from the factory, for example.

I suppose........It just goes against my grain.....
Seen far too many twisted joints fail and then overheat due to moisture ingress. The wire oxidises and gets VERY hot when in use.

In fact the main cable from battery to starter on our Xantia oxidised so badly that it actually melted the battery terminal and dripped it all into the battery......

I tend to remove 1/2 inch of insulation from the existing wire , then an inch of insulation off the end of new wire. Tighly wrap the new wire around the exposed conductor of the existing wire , solder over it then wrap insulating tape around it.
