Not to disagree with you about this but the light bulb blowing with a 20

amp fuse is not due to the airhorns.  In effect you have a parallel

circuit and the bulb is going to draw the same amount of current whether

or not you have a 20 amp fuse in the circuit.  The fact that the bulb

blew (if everything is wired correctly) was strictly a coincidence.
