No. Fuses are put in place to prevent damage in the event of an electrical short or faulty device. FOR YOUR APPLICATION, the worst thing that could happen is what Ryan mentioned - popping the fuse when braking and honking, which I hope doesn't cause the car in the back to rear end you. If you find that you have to use something larger than 30amps, then you are probably going to exceed the factory wire capacity, which could lead to melting wires in a worse case situation (braking, pulsing horn, 1 minute). I digress.

Correct instructions, right?

Hooking up the relay is a little more cumbersome, but all your connections can be made in or near the engine compartment. I think Honda's are 2 wire at the horn - if so, you can execute Figure C. If not, then you'll have to follow Figure B, but the relay may need to be rewired depending on the active horn state. I can check on my car tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to the punch.

Are you planning to disconnect your factory horns?

Good night.
