Horns are always live fused from the factory - purple circuit from the 
fusebox, bottom fuse in the 4-fuse fusebox.  It also powers the 
console-mounted courtesy light, boot/hatch light, brake-test circuit, 
'door open key in' buzzer, and lighter socket where fitted.

If headlamps are fused then at the least it should be one per side (with 
relays), if not one per filament.
