The VW horn will work. But Hella makes another set of horns that
physically resemble the look of the original lucas horns with the curled
horn shape. Althought the color of the horn is red/black I believe. The
VW horn (if recalled correctly) is round but is "open" faced and doesn't
have the curled french horn look to it.
