Ive fitted an aftermarket wheel but cant get a centre horn push the correct size so was going to wire the horn up to a button on the dash. Cant seem to find the horn in the engine bay though haha! Does anyone know where it is, and also if I connect it directly to battery, what amp inline fuse should I use?
Thanks guys

The horn(s) are located behind the front bumper in the bottom corners. No idea for the other stuff though.
