A silly question, but as Ive converted my 61 ghia to 12V can I still use the two 6V horns or will they burn outor being good old German quality handle the the 12volts?

You could run them in series instead of parallel so they only get 6 volts each
but VW horns and any older horns are VERY heavy duty... so they should last a very long time....

I just bought twin 12 volt horns on ebay - under $20 and they are different tones /frequencies .... sound great.... Lee
