Are S Type and X Type Horns Compatible

Just get one out of any junkyard. It can be off a Peugot or a Rolls Royce. Get the connecter and a couple of inches of wiring with it, and splice it onto your Jag's horn wire. Ten minutes with a soldering iron can save you a lot of money, and a car horn is a car horn.
Any time I've needed to replace a horn, the generic parts store horns have worked fine for me.

The original reason for asking if X Type and S Type horns were the same was that I wanted to keep things original. I don't want to butcher the wiring for the horns so have paid double the price of X Type horns on Ebay and have bought a set of S Type horns and will be fitting them once they have arrived. Thank you all for your contributions.

Hi T Bird6, Thank you for your reply. Yes, I do know there are two horns and no, I have no intention whatsoever of butchering the loom to fit horns. What I originally asked was if the horns and connectors on the horns were the same on an X Type and an S Type. This was so I could simply remove the horns from the X Type mounting bracket and fit them to the S Type bracket and not have to change anything other than the horns themselves. I also know that there are lots of X Type horns on Ebay and not so many S Type horns on Ebay and that the S Type horns are twice as expensive as the X Type horns. This was another reason for asking the original question. As I said in my last post, I have now decided to pay the extra to have the S Type horns from Ebay (UK) so I have no doubt that they will fit without any need for modification. There were no X Type horns in the local scrapyard for comparison and no-one on the forum seems to know if the X Type and S Type horns are compatible so, unfortunately, neither I nor anyone else on the forum is any the wiser with regard to the original question. If I do find out, I will post on the forum.
